State two methods of determining the age of fossils.
Answer:
Two methods for determining age of fossils are:
- Carbon dating - By detecting the ratios of different isotopes of the same element in the fossil material.
- Relative method - If we dig into the earth and start finding fossils, it can be assumed that the fossils closer to the surface are more recent to those found in the deeper layers.
