EVOLUTION Blog 12: Weblab Dating

Radiocarbon dating is a radiometric dating technique that uses the decay of carbon-14 to estimate the age of organic materials. This technique was developed in the 1940's by Willard F. Libby and a group of scientists. When C-14 changes into N-14, the Nitrogen is in gas form and escapes. The maximum age that carbon dating is reliable is approximately 52,000 years.

I didn't like it at all because it was really long and was not really informative. It was all specific to certain things and really confusing. I do not recommend to use this web lab.
