Question

counting tree rings is an example of which type of dating?
a. radioactive
b. varve
c. correlative
d. incremental

Explanation:

Incremental dating methods involve counting annual layers or increments (like tree rings, varves in sediment). Tree ring counting is incremental as each ring represents a year's growth. Radioactive dating uses isotopes, varve is about sediment layers (not tree rings), and correlative dating matches layers/objects across sites. So counting tree rings is incremental.

Answer:

D. Incremental
