The difference in age among American mountain ranges The importance of a technique used for dating geological materials The recent discovery of an ancient canyon A comparison of various minerals used for dating Today I want to talk about a way in which we are able to determine how old a piece of land, or some other geologic feature is - dating techniques .Before the use of uranium-lead analysis, where did most geologists think the Grand Canyon sandstone came from? An ancient lake located in the American Southwest A desert that once connected two continents Sands carried by a river from the Appalachian Mountains A nearby mountain range that had flattened out over time And until just recently, most of us thought the sand had come from an ancient mountain range fairly close by that flattened out over time. That’s been the conventional wisdom among geologists for quite some time. But now we’ve learned something different, and quite surprising, using a technique called Uranium-Lead Dating. Two geologists discovered that about half of the sand from the Grand Canyon was actually once part of the Appalachian Mountains. 这个题目是典型的前后理论观点的对比题。。。 2.In the talk, the professor describes the sequence of uranium-lead dating. Summarize the sequence by putting the events in the correct order. Drag your answer choices to spaces
