Question 2 (2 points) How have new technologies helped scientists determine the age of Earth?

Radioisotopic dating as a new technology has really helped to determine the age of the earth.

Explanation:

The actual age of the earth has been a subject of wanton speculation among different groups of people. Speculations arise from religious, cultural and philosophical perspectives.

However, studies using many radioactive isotopes believed to be present from the origin of the Earth and having extremely long half lives have been most helpful in determining the age of the earth. Radioisotopic dating is a common technique used to determine the age of ancient artifacts. It has shed a great light on the possible age of the earth.

Hence the application of radioisotopic dating as a new technology has really helped to determine the age of the earth.
