Question

17 multiple choice 1 point which of the following is used to put a near exact date to a fossil? relative dating methods electron microscopy radioactive dating time lapse photography

Explanation:

• Relative dating methods determine the order of events (relative age) but not an exact date.
• Electron microscopy is used to view microscopic structures, not for dating fossils.
• Radioactive dating (e.g., carbon - 14 dating) measures the decay of radioactive isotopes in fossils to determine a near - exact numerical age.
• Time - lapse photography captures changes over time and is not related to fossil dating.

Answer:

C. radioactive dating
