Question: What is the difference between radiometric dating and radiocarbon dating?

Radiometric dating is a method used to date rocks and other objects based on the known decay rate of radioactive isotopes. Radiocarbon dating is a method used to determine the age of organic material by measuring the radioactivity of its carbon content.Radiometric dating is a method used to date rocks and other objects based on the known decay rate of radioactive isotopes

In brief, relative dating is the method of determining the relative age of a fossil. In contrast, radioactive dating is the method of determining the absolute age of a fossil.
