Question

which of the following can be used for relative dating? answer options: select one of four potassium-argon dating inclusions strontium-rubidium dating radioactive decay

Explanation:

• Potassium - argon dating and strontium - rubidium dating are absolute dating methods that use radioactive decay to determine the numerical age of rocks or fossils.
• Radioactive decay is the process behind absolute dating methods.
• Inclusions (pieces of one rock contained within another) are used in relative dating. The principle of inclusions states that the rock containing the inclusion is younger than the inclusion itself, helping to establish the relative order of rock formation.

Answer:

B. Inclusions (assuming the options are labeled A: Potassium - argon dating, B: Inclusions, C: Strontium - rubidium dating, D: Radioactive decay)
