Question

In Figure B, Which of the following STATEMENTS IS CORRECT?

a) Unit H was deposited BEFORE Unit J and therefore “H” is OLDER

b) Unit F was intruded AFTER Unit G and therefore “F” is YOUNGER

c) Unit B was intruded AFTER Unit F and therefore “B” is YOUNGER

d) Units G, H and J are all OLDER than Unconformity “E”

e) None of the above are correct

 

The dark grey-black unit marked “X” is most likely?

a) A SEDIMENTARY ROCK UNIT based on The Law of Original Horizontality b) A SEDIMENTARY ROCK UNIT based on The Law of Superposition

c) AN IGNEOUS INTRUSION based on The Law of Cross-Cutting

d) An Unconformity

e) An example of FOLDING

Examine the Unconformity ‘’C” and Unconformity ‘’E” in Figure B, which of the following statements is TRUE? 

a) The older unconformity is a NONCONFORMITY, and the younger unconformity is also a NONCONFORMITY

b) The older unconformity is an ANGULAR UNCONFORMITY, and the younger unconformity is a DISCONFORMITY

c) The older unconformity is a NONCONFORMITY, and the younger unconformity is a DISCONFORMITY

d) The older unconformity is a DISCONFORMITY, and the younger unconformity is an ANGULAR UNCONFORMITY

e) The older unconformity is a NONCONFORMITY, and the younger unconformity is an ANGULAR UNCONFORMITY
