Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
Radiometric dating (also called radioactive dating). It measures the ratio of radioactive parent isotopes to stable daughter isotopes and uses the known half-life of the parent to calculate the rock's age (examples: uranium–lead, potassium–argon, carbon‑14 for recent organic materials).
