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.
