| Finally, how does radiometric dating work? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I prefer the term radioactive dating. This is the process in which the age of an object is determined based on how many radioactive nucleides that are present. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Does the half-life have effect the age? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| The approximate age is based on the fact that radioactive substances decay with a known half life. So it helps determine the age not effect. | |
