1
erosion of limestone and igneous intrusion indicated by the curvy line on top (erosion 1)
2
intrusion from below of igneous granite into the limestone, indicated by the zone of contact metamorphism.
3
deposition of limestone.
4
intrusion of black igneous rock cuts across all layers and the zone of contact metamorphism is apparent in all layers
order
previous

Explanation:

Step1: Identify oldest event

Sedimentary deposition is the first step here; limestone forms first.

Step2: Next event: granite intrusion

Intrusion happens after the host rock (limestone) exists.

Step3: Next event: erosion

Erosion occurs after the intrusion and limestone are in place.

Step4: Youngest event: black igneous intrusion

This cuts all existing layers/features, so it is the most recent.

Answer:

Oldest to Youngest:

1. Deposition of limestone
2. Intrusion from below of igneous granite into the limestone, indicated by the zone of contact metamorphism.
3. Erosion of limestone and igneous intrusion indicated by the curvy line on top (Erosion 1)
4. Intrusion of black igneous rock cuts across all layers and the zone of contact metamorphism is apparent in all layers.
