19. The process by which atomic nuclei spontaneously decay is called relative dating radioactivity erosion deposition 20. The time it takes for 50 percent of the nuclei in a radioactive sample to decay to its stable isotope is called the daughter product geologic time the half-life the half-time 21. The scientist who developed the theory of evolution was Harry Hess James Hutton Charles Darwin William Smith

Answer

19: radioactivity ### 20: the half-life ### 21: Charles Darwin Explanation 1. Identify correct term for spontaneous nuclear decay Spontaneous decay of atomic nuclei is called **radioactivity**. 2. Identify correct term for time it takes for half of radioactive nuclei to decay This is known as **the half-life**. 3. Identify scientist who developed theory of evolution The scientist is **Charles Darwin**.
