b. The fault is younger than the layers it cuts through, but older than the layers above it.
Explanation:
Since the fault cuts through the lower rock layers and terminates against the ones above it, we can conclude that the fault is younger than the layers it cut through but older than the layers above it.
We know this based on the principle of cross-cutting.
The principle of cross-cutting relationship suggests that "a fault and an intrusion is younger than the rocks they cut through".
- This principle is very important in determining the relative age of sedimentary strata.
- The rock units through which a fault permeates must have been there before the fault formed. So they are older.
- If the overlying layer above the fault is not affected then it is younger than the faulting event

Continentality is used to describe an inland climate that is remote from the moderating influences of large bodies of water.
<h3>What is the effect of continentality?</h3>
Continentality refers to a climatic effect that emerges because of the different range of temperature that exists at places lying in the interior of the continent away from the moderating influence of the sea and the places that are located near the continent.
Continentality causes water to warm more slowly than land when exposed to high amounts of solar radiation, to cool more slowly than land and to store more heat than land.
