These radioactive elements constitute independent clocks that allow geologists to determine the age of the rocks in which they occur.
The radioactive parent elements used to date rocks and minerals are: Radiometric dating using the naturally-occurring radioactive elements is simple in concept even though technically complex.

As radioactive Parent atoms decay to stable daughter atoms (as uranium decays to lead) each disintegration results in one more atom of the daughter than was initially present and one less atom of the parent.The calculation are based on the percentages of parent, and daughter elements.
