Dating Methods
Q: What is relative dating?
A: Relative dating is the sequence in which events occur.
Q: When would a geologist use radiometric dating?
A: Radiometric dating would be used to find the age of relatively old rocks. (75,000 yrs or older)
Q: When would a geologist use radiocarbon dating?
A: Radiocarbon dating would be used to find the age of relatively young rocks. (75,000 yrs or younger)
Q: Explain how you can use tree rings to date and study the recent past?
A: You can tell how old a tree is if you cut it down and count all the tree rings.
Q: What is a half-life?
A: Half-life is the amount of time it takes for parent material to turn into daughter material.
Q: Explain how today's lab showed half-life.
A: Today's lab showed us how long it takes for parent material to turn into daughter material, which is half-life.

1st Quarter Blog Grade
I believe I should get a 95% for my first quarter blogs. I say this because I did all of my blogs and answered all of my questions correctly. In the last blog I included the picture and answered all of the questions with the right answers. So I believe I should have about a 95% or any A.
