Question

What are fossils and how is ageof fossils determined?

Answer 1

Fossils are remains of plants and animals which got buried under the ground, years ago.

And age of fossil can be determined by carbon dating method.

In this method the ratio of C12 to C14 is observed as C12 is non-radioactive, the ratio between C12 and C14 changes continuously after the death of animals and plants.

Thus,age of fossil can be determined by CARBON DATING method.
