Question
when scientists use logic to determine the age of one fossil compared to another, they use this type of dating. carbon relative absolute
Relative dating is a method used to determine the age of a fossil in relation to other fossils or rock layers. It relies on the principle of superposition (younger rocks are on top of older rocks) and other geological principles. Carbon dating is a type of absolute dating (which gives a numerical age) based on the decay of carbon - 14. Since the question is about comparing the age of one fossil to another (not giving a numerical age), relative dating is the correct method.
