Question
errain here is tundra, so the rocks and their trends (the general direction in which the rocks are aligned) are visible. This trend, also called foliation, shows the direction in which the rocks are folded. Everything is the same color due to the green tundra plants.
The rocks to the north of the foliation line are also of granitic composition and contain the same isotopes as the rocks to the south. From the amounts of U238 and Pb206 measured in the rocks from this area indicate the 45% of one half life has passed since crystallization. The half- life of U238 is 4.5 billion years (4,500,000,000). How old are these rocks?
