Belоw аre twо scenаriоs describing reаl dating methods that we didn't discuss in class. Apply your knowledge from lecture and your readings to identify each scenario as either absolute or relative dating. Scenario #1: The earth's magnetic polarity hasn't always been North; prior to about 780 kya the magnetic pole was South (your compass would have pointed South instead of North). You observe that a recent fossil find is located above a layer with reversed polarity and therefore conclude that it must be younger than 780 kya. What type of dating is described in this example? [relative] Scenario #2: When 238Uranium decays it releases fragments that actually scratch the internal surface of some types of rocks. Knowing the half-life of 238U, you count the scratches in the rock to estimate how much 238U was left in the rock and estimate the age of your strata as 200 kya. What type of dating is described in this example? [absolute]
