Relative dating depends on the use of radioactive isotopes to give exact ages of layers.
Relative dating depends on the use of radioactive isotopes to give exact ages of layers.

This statement is NOT true. Relative dating does not rely on radioactive isotopes to give exact ages of layers, but rather uses the sequence of rock layers and index fossils to establish the relative age of the rocks.
