How long ago did the Earth form? ___ • FOUR POINT FIVE BILLION
What did the water vapor condense into? ___ • OCEANS
Scientist think life has evolved over hundreds of ___ of years? • MILLIONS
Evidence of the age of the Earth can be found by measuring the age of ___. • ROCKS
How did our planet generate the internal heat that is present today? Gravity pulls everything to the center of the Earth while density causes heavy radioactive materials to be dense and sink to the center of the Earth.
___ is the estimation of the age of an object by measuring its content of certain radioactive isotopes. • RADIOMETRIC DATING
___ are unstable isotopes that break down and give off energy in the form of charged particles called ___. • RADIOISOTOPES AND RADIATION
What is this breakdown called? ___ • RADIOACTIVE DECAY
___ is the time it takes for one half of a given amount of a radioisotope to decay. • HALF LIFE
• Half life from radioactive decay
By measuring the proportions of certain radioisotopes and their products of ___, scientists can compute how many half lives have passed since a rock was formed. • DECAY
The half life of uranium is 760 million years. If the age of the earth is 4. 2 billion years, then 4. 2/. 76 = about 6 doublings or about 64 times as much uranium existed on earth at creation as exists now.
