Answer:

A geological event shifted the rocks

Explanation:

The rock layers have the natural tendency to layer up in horizontal manner, thus to be positioned one above the other. This actually means that the rock layers are sorted out by age, with the ones on the bottom being the oldest ones, and the ones on top the youngest ones. The Earth is not static though, and there's constant movements, geological activities, that disturb the rock layers. If there are geological activities that will push up and than move sideways the rock layers, the rock layers will appear to have vertical layers, not horizontal ones, thus giving a nice clue about how they came to be in that position.

Answer:

Limestones and dolomites are examples of Carbonate rocks.

Carbonate rocks belong to the sedimentary rock.

Explanation:

Carbonate rocks are comprised of many calcite mineral. This calcite may be present either due to the dissolution by groundwater or it could be present due to the groundwater precipitation, depending upon various factors such as the pH of water, temperature of water, and the amount of dissolved ions present in the solution. The carbonate rocks are formed due to the deposition and compaction of these calcite minerals. These rocks have a composition of more than 50% of carbonate minerals.

Carbonate rocks are often characterized by the presence of karst topography, sinkholes, and caves. These limestone and dolomite are two of the major carbonate rocks commonly found on earth.
