Generation

# Radiometric Dating **Definition:** Radiometric dating measures the age of materials by analyzing the decay of radioactive isotopes within them, using the known half-life of specific elements (like carbon-14 or uranium-238) to calculate how long decay has been occurring. **Why it matters:** This technique provides objective, quantifiable ages for rocks, fossils, and artifacts spanning from thousands to billions of years old, giving us a reliable timeline for Earth's history, evolution, and geological events. It has fundamentally transformed our understanding of deep time and allowed scientists to test hypotheses about the age of Earth, mass extinctions, and human origins.
