How are relative and absolute dating methods used to determine the age of rocks and fossils? What did you learn from conducting this lab?

Respuesta :

For Absolute dating they assign a numerical date to each rock layer studied

For relative dating they go Through geological dating and stratigraphy processes. Also, they use Uranium Dating.

Answer:

The determination of fossils’ approximate age by comparing it with the identical fossils and rocks of familiar ages is done with the help of relative dating. On the other hand, the determination of the exact age of a fossil with the application of radiometric dating to determine the decay of isotopes, either inside the fossil or more generally the rocks related to it is done in the technique known as absolute dating.
