Question

information on carbon dating for a project.

Answer 1

Carbondating means  finding the age of fossils.we will introduce c -14 carbon isotope for the bones of the fossil .the time it was  taken to decompose the oneunit of bones that was the age of fossils

Answer 2

Carbon DatingCarbon dating is a variety ofradioactive dating which is applicable only to matter which was once living and presumed to be in equilibrium with the atmosphere, taking in carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis.Cosmic ray protons blast nuclei in the upper atmosphere, producing neutrons which in turn bombard nitrogen, the major constituent of the atmosphere . This neutron bombardment produces the radioactive isotope carbon-14. The radioactive carbon-14 combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and is incorporated into the cycle of living things.The carbon-14 forms at a rate which appears to be constant, so that by measuring the radioactive emissions from once-living matter and comparing its activity with theequilibrium level of living things, ameasurement of the time elapsed can be made.
