Name the structure: 5. Minimum amount of displacement on fault C 6 Geologic history

Explanation / Answer

As per the scale given in figure above the amount of displacement on fault C = (1/1.7) x 15 = 8.8235 kilometers

First the dipping layer with € sign then silurian and devonian layers deposited after that fault E occur then J intrusion occur after this folding occur then Pennsylvanian layer deposited after this fault B occur then J intrusion occur after this fault A happens then Te, To, and Tml occur after this fault D occur and after this the plutons i.e. Tmm and Tm occur respectively.
