Question

Please help!

Which of the following is a method used to obtain the relative age of a rock or fossil?

A) Decay rates

B) Radiometric dating

C) Superposition

D) Uniformitarianism

Answer 1

Answer: Option B.

Radiometric dating.

Step-by-step explanation:

Radiometric dating is a technique used by geologists gist to determine the relative age of rock through their decay rate or the decay of their radioactive elements which occur naturally when they are formed.

The radioactive decay is the process where the atomic nucleus that is not stable losses energy through radiation.

Answer 2

B) Radiometric dating

Step-by-step explanation:

Radiometric dating: Is a method used to date material such as rocks or fossil by comparing its radioactive isotope material contained in it with the amount of it's decay products. Since the decay occurs at a constant rate Scientists/Geologists are able to obtain it's relative age.
