Which of the following is NOT something we can learn by determining isotopic ages?
A) the age of a volcanic eruption

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Determining isotopic ages allows us to learn about the timing of volcanic eruptions, the uplift of rocks, the origin of materials in sedimentary rocks, and the cooling history of materials. Each of these processes leaves isotopic signatures that can be measured to determine their ages.
