Question

1. radiometric dating provides scientists with

an accurate dating method that provides actual dates of sedimentary rocks and fossils
a relative dating method that provides a system to determine older and younger rock layers
a system to determine which fossils are older or younger but cannot give a specific date
none of the above

Explanation:

Radiometric dating is an absolute dating method. Sedimentary rocks cannot be dated directly by radiometric dating as they are composed of particles from older rocks. The second option describes relative dating. The third option also refers to relative - like determination (not giving a specific date).

None of the above
