In the previous two videos we had discussed about different Relative dating methods. 

We know that in case relative dating, scientists compare an object to other similar materials in order to establish a chronological timeline. But, Geologists often need to know the age of material that they find. So, modern scientists have developed different methods to determine the absolute age of materials. In this video, we shall discuss the difference between Relative dating and absolute dating methods. 

The Radiocarbon method of dating (Carbobn-14 Dating) would be covered in detail in this video.
