In terms of dating of specific rocks,structures,or landscapes,numerical age refers to which of the following?
A)The age of geological features based on isotopic dating techniques.
B)The approximate age of geological features based on the period or epoch in which they occurred.For instance,noting a feature is from the Cretaceous.
C)A range of numeric values in which a feature was likely formed and based on several lines of evidence,such as paleoclimatic and paleobotanical reconstructions.
