Radiometric dating assumes that, once a mineral has crystallized, any daughter product results only from the decay of the original unstable parent. Some complications are

A) variations in temperature. B) failure to take samples too close together. C) "time clock resetting" due to metamorphism, and product leakage that yields false age estimation. D) a poorly maintained teleometer.

Martian volcanoes are larger than volcanoes on Earth because

A) Mars's weaker gravity makes it easier for tall structures to be built up. B) the lack of plate tectonics on Mars means that mantle plumes remain stationary relative to the surface, building up huge, single mountains. C) Mars has more internal heat than the Earth so volcanoes naturally grow to much larger sizes D) Both A and B
