The paragraph below lists the order of geologic events, from oldest to youngest, that occurred in one location. On the worksheet (U-11), draw a block that could represent these events. Two important hints -- draw a rough draft on your own paper, and begin by drawing the youngest events first. |
1. Layers were deposited. 2. The layers were folded. 3. The folds were then offset by a vertical, right-lateral fault. 4. The top was eroded to a flat surface. 5. New horizontal layers were deposited on the eroded surface.
