Answer:
The relative and absolute dating are two commonly used dating methods that are used in the field of radioactivity. These substances such as rocks and fossils that are dated are comprised of radioactive isotopes which decays over a specific period of time at a certain rate.
The absolute dating is a technique of dating the rocks in which the numerical age of the rock or a fossil specimen can be determined. This can be determined by using the different types of dating techniques such as C-14, U-238 and so on.
On the other hand, the relative dating method is a dating method in which the relative ages between two or more rock types of fossils can be evaluated. This can be determined with the help of fossils also, and also by the Law of Superposition.
