Explanation / Answer

11. There exists a disconformity betweeen unit 11 and 10.

12. d. A reverse (thrust) fault.

13.a) a conformable depositional contact.

14.c) disconformity

15. a) shale

16. The principle of stratigraphic superposition.

17. Faulting within the cliff exposures at Vaes Dathark is still active.- False.

18. The fault within this cliff exposure is the product of tension- False.

19. The contact at the base of the basalt (unit 1) is an intrusive contact.

20.Units 11 and 12 could have been deposited in a shallow marine environment in a passive continental margin setting.- True. Limestone(unit 12) usually is deposited in shallow marine environment .
