Can you please help me with this question 

**Questions:** 1. a) What is the **Name of the structure**: ................. b) **Strike** ................................... **Dip Direction**: .......................... **Dip Angle** ............ 3) **On the map (top of the block):** which layer is oldest: **A or B?** ......................... --- **Diagram Explanation:** The diagram is a block diagram featuring two distinct geological layers labeled A and B. - The diagram is oriented with North pointing upwards and East to the right. - The block shows lines on the top surface, indicating a strike direction of 300° across the surface from West to East. - The block has lines slanting downward, indicating the dipping direction and angle. Each indicates a dip at an angle of 30°. - The front face of the block provides a side view showing the dip direction extending towards the West. - **Layer A** is marked on the left side. - **Layer B** is marked on the right side. The objective is to determine the name of the structure using these parameters, calculate the strike, dip direction, and dip angle, and identify which layer, A or B, is the oldest on the map.
