Radiometric dating a allows us to determine an absolute err

Radiometric dating _____.

a- allows us to determine an absolute, errorless date

b-allows us to indirectly date fossils up to billions of years old based on minerals in surrounding volcanic strata

c-only works on rocks younger than 75,000 years

d-relies on the fact that the daughter isotope decays to the parent isotope at a constant rate

e-can be used to directly date fossils in sedimentary rock

Solution

Answer: Option B
Minerals near the volcanic strata can tell us about the age of the fossils it is covering. Samples of minerals are collected from above and under the fossils, so that approximate age could be estimated.
