Assignment – Order of Events On this 3D representation of the rocks from a made-up place, please answer the following questions: 1. Determine the order of events from oldest to youngest (there are more than 20!) Put numbers on the diagram with 1 being the oldest to label each event. 2. Create a list on the next page of the numbered events, explaining what happened. For the unconformities, explain what kind they are and how they formed. 3. How would you get absolute age constraints on events? Answer for each of your listed events.

Question 1
The oldest is 1 while the youngest is 20
each event. 18, 17, 16, 14, 13, 12, 9, 10, 15, 19, 22, 23
question 2
First 1 to 10 sedimentary strata alternate deposited horizontal sequences
First 1 to 10 sedimentary strata alternate deposited horizontal sequences.
Then these strata tilted. As the beds are titled, the bed is exposed to the surface. As a result,
erosion happened of rock strata. So here, Unconformity developed.
Question 3

Answer for each of the listed events
11- is an Angular Unconformity because unconformity developed on a tilted sequence.

12 rock strata deposited happened.

13 - A parallel unconformity developed because it indicates a period of erosion and nondeposition happened.
Then 14 rock strata were deposited above the unconformity.

Then an intrusion happened (15 ).
