Question

whats the difference between carbon dating and stratigraphic dating? choose 1 answer: a carbon dating places fossils or artifacts in time by measuring their radiocarbon content; stratigraphic dating relies on the layers of earth surrounding those fossils or artifacts b stratigraphic dating is a type of radioactive dating that only applies to matter which was once living c stratigraphic dating uses the content of the fossils or artifacts themselves to place them in time; carbon dating relies on the layers of earth surrounding fossils or artifacts

Explanation:

Carbon - dating measures radiocarbon content in fossils/artifacts for dating. Stratigraphic dating uses the earth - layers around fossils/artifacts for dating. Option B is wrong as stratigraphic dating is not a type of radioactive dating for once - living matter. Option C has the methods reversed.

Answer:

A. Carbon dating places fossils or artifacts in time by measuring their radiocarbon content; stratigraphic dating relies on the layers of earth surrounding those fossils or artifacts
