14\ndrag each tile to the correct box.\narrange the layers and the fault line from youngest to oldest.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Apply principle of superposition
The principle of superposition states that in an undisturbed sequence of sedimentary rocks, the oldest layers are at the bottom and the youngest are at the top. Also, a fault is younger than the rocks it cuts through.
Step2: Analyze the layers and fault
Layer A is at the top, so it is the youngest. Then comes layer B. Layer C is below B. Layer D is below C. Layer E is the bottom - most among the layers, so it is the oldest among the layers. The fault (F) cuts through layers B, C, D and E, so it is younger than these layers but older than layer A (since it doesn't cut through A).
Answer:
A, F, B, C, D, E
