LESSON 10 – Earths History: Estimating Geologic Time Modified from 28,7.9.
It can be difficult to determine the ages of objects by sight alone. e.g. It can be difficult to tell which students in a classroom are oldest. Radioactivity.

Daughter isotope Decay curve Half-life Parent isotope Radiocarbon dating.
Absolute and Relative. A numerical (or "absolute") age is a specific number of years, like 150 million years ago. A relative age simply states whether.
Chapter 7.2 – BC Science 10. The time required for half ½ the nuclei in a sample of a radioactive isotope to decay The half life for any radioactive isotope.
Chapter 8. itarianism A principle that geologic processes that occurred in the past can be explained by current geologic processes. Volcanism and Erosion.
Chapter 8 Section 2 Handout Determining Absolute Age.
Absolute Dating. A.D. is used when geologists want to know the actual numerical age of a rock layer. A.D. is used when geologists want to know the actual.
