  1. geological dating

    Geological dating, also known as geochronology, is the method of determining the age or date of formation of rocks, minerals, and other geological features. This includes techniques such as radiometric dating (using the decay of radioactive isotopes), stratigraphy (analyzing layers of rock), and dendrochronology (dating based on tree rings), among others. Geological dating methods allow scientists to place geological events in chronological order, giving insights into the history and evolution of the Earth.
