d. Based on the ages of the rock layers in outcrop 1, identify an unconformity. Remember that an unconformity is
a break in the rock record. Draw a wavy line on the figure to represent the unconformity.

10.8 Numerical Dating with Radioactivity
■ Explain the principle of radiometric dating, including half-life, parent isotope,
and daughter product.
Radioactivity has provided a reliable means for calculating the numerical (absolute) age of
rocks, a procedure called radiometric dating. Radioactive isotopes, such as uranium-238,
emit particles from their nuclei that we call radiation. Ultimately, the process of decay…
