Question: Is relative dating an inferior form of dating compared to absolute dating?

While in the absolute dating, isotopes of carbon are used for dating fossils. The absolute dating is more precise than relative dating because it tells the exact age of the fossils. Both are ultimately based on the fossils found in the strata.

What is more efficient relative or absolute dating?

Absolute dating, also called numerical dating, arranges the historical remains in order of their ages. Whereas, relative dating arranges them in the geological order of their formation. The relative dating techniques are very effective when it comes to radioactive isotope or radiocarbon dating.
