Question: What is an example of chronometric dating?

Chronometric techniques include radiometric dating and radio-carbon dating, which both determine the age of materials through the decay of their radioactive elements; dendrochronology, which dates events and environmental conditions by studying tree growth rings; fluorine testing, which dates bones by calculating their

Relative dating methods reveal the tem- poral order of a sequence of materials, objects or events, disclosing whether these occurred before, contemporarily or after other materials, objects or events. Absolute, or chronometric dating methods reveal the age, measured in calendar years, of materials, objects or events.

What is the best example of absolute dating?

Absolute dating techniques include radiocarbon dating of wood or bones, potassium-argon dating, and trapped-charge dating methods such as thermoluminescence dating of glazed ceramics. C) to systems such as uranium–lead dating that allow determination of absolute ages for some of the oldest rocks on Earth.
