MODUL II

Refer to Figure 5 to answer the following questions:

1) Of the rocks A-D, which of the rocks were deposited first?

2) Of the rocks A-F, which of the rocks are the oldest?
3) Which occurred first: The tilting of A, B, C and D or the deposition of
E and F?
4) Which occurred first: The erosion of the Earth’s surface or the deposition of A, B, C,
and D?
5) What type of ncounformity is found at the base of rock layer E

ANSWER :
1. the rocks were deposited first is D
2. the rocks are the oldest is D
3. Occurred first is the tilting of A, B, C and D
4. Occurred first is the deposition of A, B, C, and D
5. type of ncounformity is Angular unformity

Refer to Figure 6 to answer the following questions

6) Is the fault in Figure 5 older or younger than rocks A-H?

7) Is the fault in Figure 5 older or younger than batholith Y?
8) Which occurred first: Erosion of the Earth’s surface or the fault?
9) Is the lava flow X older or younger than rock F?
 10) Which is older, batholith Y or lava flow X

11) There are four different unconformities identified in Figure 6.

Identify what types they are and list them below.
*Note: You may use the same unconformity more than once

Unconformity#1:______________Unconformity#2:_____________

Unconformity#3:______________Unconformity#4:_____________

ANSWER :
6. Older than
7. Older than batholith
8. Occurred first is fault
9. The lava flow X is younger that rock F
10. Older than is batholith
11. Unconformity#1 : Nonconformity
Unconformity#2 : Lelehan
Unconformity#3 : Disconformity
Unconformity#4 : Angular unconformity

youngest
in the spaces providedusing the list of choices below. You will use each choice only
once

19) Label all the unconformities in Figure 7 (there are 5).

20) Lava flow L is dated at 450 million year sold and lava flow K is dated at 75 million
years old. Based on those dates, what is the approximately age range for the
following?
Rock A? __________________
