Question

Radiometric dating is possible if a rock contains a measureable amount of Parent isotopes. Parent and daughter isotopes. Daughter isotopes. Parent or daughter isotopes. What is the geologic time scale generally based upon? The solar cycle. The age of ocean water. Major geological and/or biological events. Dendrochronology. Radiometric dating has allowed scientists to attach numerical ages to many of the events in the geologic timescale. True False For the principle of uniformitarianism, the present is the key to the past. True False The principle of uniformitarianism states that the landscape of the Earth formed via a series of sudden and catastrophic events in Earth's early history. True False
