Why is the half-life of a radioisotope important for radioactive dating? A. The half-life forms a type of clock used to calculate time passed.
B. The half-life of a radioisotope tells how long ago the element was
formed.
C. The age of an object is equal to the radioisotope with the longest
half-life in it.
D. The half-life gives the period over which the radioisotope doesn't
change.

Dating Using Radioactive Decay

The best-known techniques for radioactive dating are radiocarbon dating, potassium-argon dating and uranium-lead dating.

After one half-life has elapsed, one half of the atoms of the nuclide in question will have decayed into a “daughter” nuclide.

Explanation:d

why is arctic sea ice important? arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and moderate global climate. sea ice has a bright surface; 80 percent of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space. as sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface.

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
