200

It is difficult to use radiometric dating on _______ rock

What is metamorphic rock?

300

Radioactive decay in which a proton absorbs an electron to become a neutron

What is an electron capture

300

You start with 600 atoms of radioactive isotope that has a half-life of 3 years.  After 9 years how many of that radioactive isotope remain?

What is 75?

After 3 years half are gone - so 300 are left

After another 3 years, half are gone 150 left

After another 3 years - 75 are left

300

To determine the age of a rock, you use radiometric dating on _____ rock

What is igneous rock?

400

Atoms that have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons

What is an Isotope?

400

According to their view of the geological column, why don't you find fossils of dinosaurs and people in the same layer of rock?

What is Dinosaurs and people did not life on the earth at the same time

400

YEC's believe this even left an obvious mark on the geological record

What is the Biblical Worldwide Flood?

400

You are watching a sample of radioactive isotopes.  you initially have 400 atoms, after 6 hours you have 100.  What is the half-life of the radioactive isotope?

What is half-life 3 hours?

After 1 half-life there would be 200 

another there would be 100 left

thus 2 half lives would be 3 hours

True or False - all radioactive isotopes have long half-lives

What is False?
