In this lab we will learn to use radiometric and paleomagnetic age dating techniques to determine the age of rocks and estimate rates of sea floor spreading.
Isotopes Determine the mass and number of neutrons in each of the following isotopes.
Next click the OK button and a multicolored periodic table of the elements will appear on the screen. Click on an element on the chart and a expanded list of information concerning the element will appear. Note that some elements have multiple page listings. To check the additional pages, click on the lower right hand folded corner of the list page. Several samples were collected from the outcrop shown below in order to determine the absolute ages of the materials.
