Radio Carbon Dating is use to estimate the age of _____ ?

  • A.Monuments
  • B.Rocks
  • C.Soil
  • D.Fossils

Answer: D

Radiocarbon dating estimates the age of fossils and other once-living material - wood, bone, charcoal, cloth.

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years, so the method works back to about 50,000 years. It cannot date rock or soil, which never contained living carbon.
