For radiometric dating, you need to know which of the following? the sequence of rock layers a collection of fossil shells from sedimentary rocks the rate at which the radioactive decay occurs and how much has already occurred several types of radioactive material

Option C, the rate at which the radioactive decay occurs and how much has already occurred

Explanation:

The radiometric dating is based on studying the presence/existence of parents and daughter isotopes in a sample of any substance. Based on the abundance of both the parents and daughter isotopes, the rate of decay of any radioactive substance is determined.  The rate of decay of radioactive isotopes  is considered to be fixed. Therefore, once the rate of decay and "radioactive decay till date" is determined, the age of the substance can be easily calculated.

Thus option C is correct

in a word, a scientific question is testable. a testable question is one that asks about objects, organisms or events found in the world around it

humans are now responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and plant species. we take up more space on earth for our homes and cities. we pollute habitats. human activity often changes or destroys the habitats that plants and animals need to survive.
