Radiometric dating

Relative dating and radiometric dating are two different things used for the same purpose. This purpose is to determine the age of fossils and other geological features. Radiometric uses radioactivity while relative uses location of the fossil or feature in rock layers. Although radiometric is more accurate than relative, relative dating is easier, quicker, and is the oldest way. These two ways are some of the common ways but not the only ways. There are also methods like carbon dating and absolute dating. Some people believe in the Bible which describes the earth being created but never mentions a time so no one knows how long ago it actually happened. Other people do not believe in the Bible and try to use scientific methods to uncover the time of the Earth's creation but one thing holds true between both is that dating can help uncover this secret but they are not the only ones. There are more ways to date fossils such as radiocarbon dating, carbon…

Yes of course some question that age but it was found after years of searching and studying. Through radiometric dating we’re able to calculate the age of radioactive elements such as Uranium. But that’s not the only way they calculated the age of the Earth. They used carbon dating which uses carbon to calculate the age of plants and animals, including ancient organisms. Once dead these organisms over time decay and some fossilize after millions of years. In the documentary they used many…

However, there are many times that radiometric dating has contradicted itself. (Hodge, 2007) says that the half -life of carbon14 is 5,730 years, so that being said, the carbon 14 in organic material that is said to be 100,000 years old should now be nitrogen. For instance, radiometric dating has said that a piece of wood trapped in lava flows is millions of years old, but it still has carbon 14 inside. Therefore, radiometric dating is unreliable because we know that it can’t be millions of…

Dating in the 1950s-1960s is definately different then now. Back then the boy asked the girl out and he also went into the girl's house and spoke with the father before she could go on a date. many of the quaint rituals of dating in the1950s-1960's show common courtesy that is lacking today. here are the ways girls had to do things in the 1960's. The girl couldn't pay for the date. At a restaraunt, its ladylike to tell a date what you wnat for dinner so he can order for you. Here is the…

really look into the future for a life-long relationship. Too many things have changed for the worst as we progressed throughout time and that is why traditional dating is a thing of the past because we rely on technology, rarely go out on actual dates, courtship and simple acts of chivalry being faded away. Smart phones, computers, and other technology have taking over the traditional dating…

What is Dating? The restaurants lights are dimmed just right. As classic jazz plays in the background, the couple enjoys a perfect medium stake. While locking eyes, they immediately feel butterflies shoot around in their stomach. Both hands reach out to touch the others’ hand, so many different emotions wrapped into one. This is just one of the many examples that can describe a “date”. But does the meaning of the word “date” become different when it is changed to the word “dating”? Depending on…

The idea of dating in South Korean culture is relatively new because traditionally, marriages were arranged, and therefore, Koreans were not dating. Young adults were formed into couples by their families, village elders, or matchmakers and subsequently married. These artificial relationships were generally based on a combination of the males socioeconomic status and education rather than love, but with time Koreans view of love has changed from viewing it as nothing besides lust and…

a few million years old. Dating methods are used to find out about how old an artifact may be, or how old it is exactly. Relative dating methods are stratigraphy and style analysis. Absolute dating methods used are absolute dating, radiocarbon dating, uranium-lead dating, and luminescence dating. Stratigraphy as a dating method, is based around the principle that older artifacts are usually found below younger artifacts. When archaeological sites are excavated, the layers of ground near the…

People now rely on dating apps or other forms of social media to find their perfect match. What many do not realize is that the person one is trying to kindle a relationship may be a phony. In the movie documentary Catfish, the protagonist Nev, engages in a virtual relationship over with a woman he met over a mutual friend on Facebook. Throughout his relationship with his acclaimed girlfriend Megan there is an exchange of explicit messages, photos and lies. When Nev finds an opportunity to…

Similar to online dating sites, Tinder and similar apps (i.e. Hot or Not) have been created, geared toward 17 – 24 year olds who are looking for a love connection. Due to its rapidly growing use, I had a fellow student to try Tinder (white, heterosexual, teenage male). Prerequisites for this experimentation was to have a single subject who had never used Tinder before. I decided to conduct this experiment with both my subject and I in the Haggett Hall Lounge to see the interaction of the other…
