Question

1. Study the block diagram below. Note that the basal contact of the conglomerate is distinctly coarse and contains clasts of sandstone. Answer the following questions: A: If there is an unconformity recorded here, where stratigraphically is it most likely to occur and what type is it? B: Which is older, Fault A or Dike B'? C: List all distinctly different geologic events in their order of occurrence. Clarify whether you include the possible unconformity in "a". Use the back of this paper or a separate piece of page for your answer D: Can you determine net slip on Fault A? If so, what is it or if not, what component of the slip vector can you determine and what is it? lomerat St Sill Fault A Dike B Dike A Fault B

Explanation / Answer

A) Yes there is an unconformity after the deposition of sandstone.type of unconformity is disconformity.

B)Fault A is older than the dike B bcz after faulting dike intruded.

C)First different kind of rock layer deposited after deposition faulting take place and then intrusion of magma takes place.
