Question

HELP!!!!! I'll award points

This is a three-step exercise. For Step 1. you will determine the age relationships, the relative chronology, and the identities of some different events that are represented in the corresponding figures. For Step 2, you will determine the order and type of events, but you will be looking at a more complex cross-sectional diagram of the Grand Canyon. For Step 3. you will make the same type of determinations for a hypothetical geologic cross-section and give explanations for your answers where indicated. Use the figures above, which are all cross sectional views, to answer the following three questions: In Figure 9-2, which is older, the basalt or the diorite In Figure 9-3. G is granito; X. Y. and Z are dikes. Using the letters G. X. Y. and Z. give the chronology of each intrusion listing them from the oldest to the youngest. A 25 million-year-old dike cuts the shale and the sandstone in Figure 9-4. Using the principles of relative dating, determine which one is older (the sandstone or the shale). Use the figures provided above and the principles of relative dating to answer the following three questions: In Figure 9-5, which is older-the granite or the shale In Figure 9-6, which is older-the limestone or the shale? In Figure 9-7, which is older-the granite or the rhyolite?
