Answer 1

With absoulute dating, a rock's exact age can be determined, whereas with relative dating, a rock's age is compared to the ages of other rocks

Answer 2

a. absolute, relative

Step-by-step explanation:

• The term dating in geology is used to determine the geologic age of the rocks ad thus the term radiometric dating is used. The absolute dating of the rocks is characterized by the rock in terms do the absolute or precise age of the rocks and thereby finding the age by the help of a radioactive isotopes.

• The use of the C14 radioactive isotope is done and the absolute is a direct contrast to that of the relative age of rocks. Whereas the relative is used to date the ricks on terms of the geologic event of the formation and is normally laid down in refer, where the oldest is at the bottom.
