Answer:

Layer C is the youngest

Explanation:

On the image we can see three layers that have deposited throughout time on top of each other, thus in the manner of superposition. The deeper the layer, the older it is, the closer to the top the layer is, the younger it is, so we have layer D as the oldest, then comes layer B, and the youngest of those three is the layer A. But we also have the layer C that is roughly vertical, and it doesn't seem to belong there. This layer cuts through the layers D and B and stops at the bottom of layer A. This layer is actually an intrusion. It is a magma that managed to rise from the mantle and penetrate through the layers, gradually cooling off afterward and creating intrusive igneous rocks. This layer is the youngest of them all, as it appeared, formed, as the last.

Which feature is created when a block of rock dropped down in relation to the block of rock beside it thrust fault produced by c
sergeinik [125]

The correct option is B. Normal fault is produced by tension when a block of rock dropped down in relation to the block of rock beside its thrust fault is produced by compression.

The normal fault, where one rock block lowers down in relation to the other, the strike-slip fault, where the fault blocks slide past one another horizontally, and the reverse fault, where one fault block slides upward in relation to the other, are the three major types of faults.

<h3>What are a normal fault and a reverse fault?</h3>

Normal faults are caused when two plates that are stacked one on top of the other slip past one another. One plate sliding under the other results in a vertical offset, which causes reverse faults. When two plates pass each other horizontally, strike-slip faults occur.

Grabens descend in relation to neighboring blocks, forming valleys. Horsts become areas of higher topography as compared to nearby blocks that have been down-dropped.

Flowering plants and shrubs usually grow in warm temperatures. In cold places or during winter times, these plants experience rest periods or chilling hours. These plants cannot increase its ability to withstand cold and can be injured during cold temperatures.
