Relative Dating Question Please place the options shown from oldest to youngest.

Igneous rocks C granite E dike Sedimentary rocks A sandstone B shale D sandstone G shale M sandstone K conglomerate unconformity contact MM lace the formations and geologic events at SITE B in order from oldest to oungest (oldest event at the top) B: Deposition of shale Choose... Tilting/uplift G: Deposition of shale A: Deposition of sandstone D: Deposition of sandstone M: Deposition of sandstone K: Deposition of conglomerate Erosion of surface leads to unconformity E. Intrusion of dike . C. Intrusion of granite Erosion of surface leads to oose... nconformity Choose... Choose... Choose... 0 1.

Explanation / Answer

According to given all information in map The geological succcition with events step by step from older (step 1) to younger(step9) is as follows

step 1 = The deposition of the shale bed(B) is taken place then,

step 2 =A: The deposition of sandstone bed (A & M ) taken place then,

step 3 = K: Deposition of conglomerate then,

step 4 = The intrusion of the Granitic intrusion(c) then,

step 5 =erosion of all rock surfaces leads to unconformity(due to tectonic uplift) then,

step 6 = D: deposition of sandstone bed (D) then , followed by

step 7 = E: Intrusion of dike (E) then , again

ste 8 = it followed by erosion leading unconformity

step 9= G: Deposition of shale bed (G) took place
