I believe for the first question you could use crater count and radioactive decay... I don't know the third.

1. Name 3 possible ways one may date the surface of a terrestrial body. (relative or absolute)
2. Alluvium is an example of what layer of material on terrestrial planets?
3. What is the Phoebe ring?

1. Crater count, How geologically active it is, radioactive decay 2. Regolith/Surface 3.A ring that is virtually invisible, made up of dust, and thought to have come from celestial bodies colliding with Phoebe
P.S. Do you go to Community?

What did you mean by relative or absolute?

There are two broad divisions of dating. Relative gives the age in relation to another object. Absolute gives the actual, numerical age.
Examples:
Relative: Rock A is ~100 years older than Rock B.
Absolute: Rock A is 200 years old.

Hey my competition is this Saturday so I would really appreciate if someone post new questions.

1. The diameter of Ceres is what fraction of the Moon's diameter?

2. List these celestial bodies in order from smallest to largest : (Haumea, Eris, The Moon, Ceres, Makemake)

3. List these celestial bodies in order from closest to farthest : (The Moon lol, Eris, Pluto, Makemake, Haumea, 2007 OR10, Voyager 2)


4. Get your cheat sheet out boys,
Label all parts of the moon with the #'s corresponding to the letters.



1. Mare Nectaris
2. Mare Crisium
3. Tycho Crater
4. Mare Tranquilitatis
5. Mare Fecunditatis
6. Grimaldi Crater
7. Mare Serenitatis
8. Mare Vaporum
9. Copernicus Crater
10. Mare Nubium
11. Mare Humorum
12. Oceanus Procellarum
13. Mare Imbrium
14. Mare Frigoris
15. Mare Insularum

HOW TO ANSWER : For example, lets say "B" was the Copernicus Crater (it isn't btw) you would put this : 9. B


Sorry for late response, hope this can make up for it..
