Answer:
The nuclear decay of radioactive isotopes is a process that behaves in a clock-like fashion and is thus a useful tool for determining the absolute age of rocks. Radioactive decay is the process by which a “parent” isotope changes into a “daughter” isotope. ... Metamorphic rocks may also be radiometrically dated.
it gives us their exact age
