The two correct statements regarding radiometric dating of rocks are:
1. **Radiometric dating of meteorites has led scientists to believe that the solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago.**
2. **This technique suggests that most of Earth's crust is not as old as material from meteorites.**
These statements are true because radiometric dating of meteorites has provided key insights into the age of the solar system, and the ages determined for meteorite material often exceed the ages of many rocks found on Earth's crust.
