We now use radioactive decay to determine the age of geological materials. What is one feature of an ideal material for radiometric dating? - ️️No initial daughter isotope when the material formed We now use radioactive decay to determine the age of geological materials. Which of the following is NOT a feature of an ideal material for radiometric dating? - ️️The material incorporated a large amount of parent isotope as it formed Daughter isotopes cannot easily move out of the material ...

When does metamorphism occur? What does metamorphism include? Meta. rocks compare to Ig. and Sed. rocks? Does Metamorphism have a solid/not solid state? What are these two types of changes? - ANSWERSOccurs at elevated temperature and pressure, typically at the base of mountains Includes Recrystallization, making new minerals from original minerals, and sometimes, changes in the texture of the Parent Rock (protolith). Metamorphic rocks are organized compared to Igneous and Sedim...

silicates - minerals that contain silicon and oxygen and usually one or more other elements, are one of the largest groups of minerals oxides - compounds that have oxygen as their anion, t ut they exclude those with oxygen complexes such as carbonate, suphate, and silicate. have O2 as their anion, Ways rocks may form - Igneous: forms from magma that has either cooled slowly under ground or cooled quickly at the surface after a volcanic eruption Sedimentary rocks: formed when weathered frag...
