Explain the determination of the age of fossil

Answers

Answered by adbravo588

Answer:

Relative dating is used to determine a fossils approximate age by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages.

Absolute dating is used to determine a precise age of a fossil by using radiometric dating to measure the decay of isotopes, either within the fossil or more often the rocks associated with it.

Answered by shunmugasundari53

Answer:

Fossils are impressions of plants or animals embedded in rock and preserved. They may be in the form of a body or trace.

The age of the fossils is determined by the Radioactive carbon dating technique in which the half-life of carbon and found radioactive elements is determined to calculate the age of a fossil.
