Question

Refer to diagram 1 above. All of the lower case letters refer to sedimentary units. They are right-side up and there are no faults along the contacts between these layers other than the one that is labeled. There is a sequence of 10 events here, including the deposition of units a-f and y, folding of units a through f, fault movement along the fault, and intrusion of a granitic pluton. Ignore the stratigraphic horizon that lies beneath "a" and note that "pluton" refers to a body of granite in this example. Put a number from 1 (oldest) to 10 (youngest) for each of the following: intrusion of pluton folding of layers a through f deposition of y deposition of a deposition of b deposition of c deposition of d deposition of e deposition of f movement along fault

Explanation / Answer

As the pluton is at the bottom so it is oldest, after that deposition a a started then B up to f then folding starts and fault occurs and at last y deposite
