Question
Chapter 10.9, Problem 3A
Summary Introduction
Whether rock layers H and I younger or older than 100 million years and the reason for the same.
Introduction:
Parent isotope is the one which remains unstable and decays whereas, the isotopes which result from parent isotopes but remains stable are known as daughter products. Half-life is the time which is taken by half of the parent atoms to convert into daughter products.
