Relative vs absolute dating
Explanation:
Absolute (with certainty and accuracy) dating is the process of determining the age of the specific rock in specified geology and a timely format. Also called as the chronometric calendering. Includes techniques as radiometric dating, potassium dating, Amino acid dating, and Luminescence dating. The primary method used in this radioactive decay.
Relative dating is the science of determining the relative order of past events without estimating their ages as in absolute dating. The principles of relative density include laws of superposition and uniformitarianism.
Absolute determines the exact age and relative dating deals with object item comparison.
Absolute determines the numerical age while relative arranges fossil in an order.
Absolute precision is high and relative precision is low.
Absolute dating is Quantitative and relative qualitative.
Absolute take time is more expensive as compared to a relative is less expensive and takes less time.

Absolute dating and relative dating are both methods used to determine the age of a fossil. Absolute dating gives the actual age of a fossil in years based on the amount of radioactive and stable elements in the fossil. Relative dating gives an estimate of the age of a fossil based on the location of the fossil in relation to other fossils.
