Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Some examples of absolute dating include radiocarbon dating, potassium-argon dating, and thermoluminescence.
Detailed explanation-2: -Absolute age dating deals with assigning actual dates (in years before the present) to rocks or geological events. Contrast this with relative age dating, which instead is concerned with determining the orders of events in Earth’s past.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most absolute dates for rocks are obtained with radiometric methods. These use radioactive minerals in rocks as geological clocks. The atoms of some chemical elements have different forms, called isotopes. These break down over time in a process scientists call radioactive decay.
