Question

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP The diagram shows cross-cutting relationships among rocks. Which statement accurately describes the geologic features? D occurred after B. D occurred before A. A formed after the horizontal layer above was deposited. F formed before the horizontal layer above was deposited.

Answer 1

Answer:

A formed after the horizontal layer above was deposited.

Explanation:

In the given diagram following are the labeling for several ecologic features:

A - Folded rock strata

B - Large intrusion

C -  Erosion angular unconformity

D - Volcanic di.ke

E - even younger rock strata

F - normal fault

As, A represent folded rock strata and layered rocks or folded rocks are formed when particles settle from water and air horizontally over the rocks.

Hence, the correct statement is "A formed after the horizontal layer above was deposited".
