What is another word for radiometric dating?
Pronunciation: [ɹˌe͡ɪdɪə͡ʊmˈɛtɹɪk dˈe͡ɪtɪŋ] (IPA) 
Radiometric dating, also known as radioactive dating, is a scientific process used to determine the age of rocks and other materials by measuring the decay of isotopes within them. There are several synonyms for radiometric dating, including isotopic dating, radioisotope dating, and carbon dating. Each of these terms refers to a slightly different process for determining age, but all rely on the principles of radioactive decay. Isotopic dating is a method used to determine the age of a material based on its isotopic composition. Radioisotope dating is a technique that uses the decay of radioactive isotopes to determine the age of a material. Finally, carbon dating is the process of determining the age of an object containing organic material by examining its carbon content.
