30sEditDelete - Q3
What is the difference between an absolute date and a relative date?
A relative date is derived from radiometric dating techniques while an absolute date comes from guesswork.
An absolute date refers to a year or a range of years while a relative date indicates a chronological order.
A relative date refers to a year or a range of years while an absolute date indicates a chronological order.
An absolute date involves testing of sedimentary rocks while relative date involves testing of igneous rocks.
