Answer 1

It allowed us to put a formation date on some geologic cross sections

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute dating techniques is an improvement on the older relative dating techniques which only give order of past events but with newer absolute dating techniques, those chronological events are sampled and analysed and more accurate numerical ages assigned to them.

This newer technique has vastly improved the way archaeologists find the age of ancient relics and geologists, rocks.
