Answer:

Radiometric dating, radioactive dating or radioisotope dating is a technique which is used to date materials such as rocks or carbon, in which trace radioactive impurities were selectively incorporated when they were formed. The method compares the abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope within the material to the abundance of its decay products, which form at a known constant rate of decay.

Absolute dating relies on radioactive  elements, which are unstable elements that release energy as they break down.

Explanation:

  • "Absolute dating" is the process of ascertaining an age on a "specified chronology" in geology & archaeology.
  • "Absolute dating" is generally based on the "chemical, physical, & life properties" of the materials of "buildings, artifacts, or other items" which is modified by "humans" & by "historical associations" with "materials with known dates"
  • Most "absolute dates" for rocks are obtained with "radiometric methods". These use "radioactive minerals"  (giving of "energy" due to the breaking up of "nuclei atoms", something which undergoes "radioactive decay",  the process wherein an "unstable atom emits radiation") in rocks as "geological clocks".
