Questions A. Forming Unconformities 1. The panels in Figure 6 below represent the sequential formation of a nonconformity. List the panels in their correct order from oldest to youngest. C (youngest) Figure 6. Nonconformity sequence puzzle. 2. The panels in Figure 7 below represent the sequential formation of an angular unconformity. List the panels in their correct order from oldest to youngest. Figure 7. Angular unconformity sequence puzzle.

A simplified geologic cross-section. Unit R is an igneous intrusion with a "bake zone" (stippling).
Geologic History of Lava Canyon Let'g use some relative dating concepts to reconstruct the geologic history of Lava Canyon. Use the Key to Fill Patterns to Rock Units at the back of this lab to answer the following questions Figure 10. The Lava Canyon sequence diagram. 5.

In the space below, discuss the geologic history of Rhyolite Cliffs from the previous page. Use bullet points. Don't just write what was deposited. Discuss geologic processes (tfransgression regression, tilting, mountain-building, erosion, formation of unconformities, etc.), as well as the ages of rock units and events in relative and absolute terms based on the ages given.
