B. There is no key on the map

Explanation:

Shania would be unable to determine the oldest formation because there is no key on the map. The map does not contain the proper details to be used to infer age relationships among the formations.

  • A map presents a three dimensional world on two dimensional paper or surface.
  • To infer relative ages, a cross section from the two dimensional representation is the most desired.
  • From the cross section, the third dimension can carefully be studied and ages inferred.
  • There is little to no way we can infer relative age relationship on this surface.
  • To do that, we would require a key. Most times, the key shows the stratigraphic column which puts rocks in their correct ages.
  • Most keys are arranged with formations from the oldest at the bottom and the youngest on top.
  • Since this map lacks a key, direction, scale and other map elements, it would not be possible to infer relative ages of the rock.

How can a field be eroded by heavy rain
kumpel [21]
<span>Heavy rain on a fairly even slope creates "sheet runoff." The water flows down slope as an even sheet. Any dips in the slope will collect more runoff water, which will be able to erode more strongly. If the force of this water is not stopped it will produce a gully . The gully will collect more and more water and cause even more erosion. In time it will remove the soil down to solid bedrock.
