Scientists use **radiometric dating** to help compare the ages of rocks. This method involves measuring the concentrations of radioactive isotopes and their decay products within the rock samples, allowing scientists to estimate the age of the rocks based on the known rates of decay. Other methods, such as stratigraphy and biostratigraphy, can also be employed for dating and correlating rock layers.
