e.8.7. rock cycle\nthe image shows a cross - section from a region that contains four sedimentary rock layers labeled 1 through 4, an igneous intrusion labeled q, and a fault labeled p.\nwhich steps correctly sequence events that led to the formation of the rock layers in the outcrop?\n1. sedimentary rock layer 1 was formed.\n2. sedimentary rock layer 2 was formed over sedimentary rock layer 1.\n3. sedimentary rock layer 3 was formed over sedimentary rock layer 2.\n4. sedimentary rock layer 4 was formed over sedimentary rock layer 3.\n5. igneous intrusion q was formed, and it cut through sedimentary rock layers 2, 3, and 4.\n6. fault p was formed, and it cut through igneous intrusion q and sedimentary rock layers 1, 2, 3, and 4.\n1. sedimentary rock layer 1 was formed.\n2. sedimentary rock layer 2 was formed over sedimentary rock layer 1.\n3. sedimentary rock layer 3 was formed over sedimentary rock layer 2.\n4. sedimentary rock layer 4 was formed over sedimentary rock layer 3.\n5. fault p was formed, and it cut through sedimentary rock layers 1, 2, 3, and 4.\n6. igneous intrusion q was formed, and it cut through sedimentary rock layers 2, 3, and 4.\n1. sedimentary rock layer 4 was formed.\n2. sedimentary rock layer 3 was formed over sedimentary rock layer 4.\n3. sedimentary rock layer 2 was formed over sedimentary rock layer 3.\n4. sedimentary rock layer 1 was formed over sedimentary rock layer 2.\n5. fault p was formed, and it cut through sedimentary rock layers 1, 2, 3, and 4.\n6. igneous intrusion q was formed, and it cut through sedimentary rock layers 2, 3, and 4.\n1. sedimentary rock layer 4 was formed.\n2. sedimentary rock layer 3 was formed over sedimentary rock layer 4.\n3. sedimentary rock layer 2 was formed over sedimentary rock layer 3.\n4. igneous intrusion q was formed, and it cut through sedimentary rock layers 2, 3, and 4.\n5. sedimentary rock layer 1 was formed over sedimentary rock layer 2.\n6. fault p was formed, and it cut through igneous intrusion q and sedimentary rock layers 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
In geology, sedimentary rock layers are formed one on top of the other in a sequential order (younger layers on top of older ones). Faults and intrusions occur after the rock - layers they cut through are formed. Sedimentary rock layer 1 must be the first to form, followed by layer 2, then layer 3, and then layer 4. After all the sedimentary layers are formed, the igneous intrusion Q cuts through layers 2, 3, and 4. Finally, the fault P cuts through all the rock layers and the igneous intrusion Q.
Answer:
- Sedimentary rock layer 1 was formed.
- Sedimentary rock layer 2 was formed over sedimentary rock layer 1.
- Sedimentary rock layer 3 was formed over sedimentary rock layer 2.
- Sedimentary rock layer 4 was formed over sedimentary rock layer 3.
- Igneous intrusion Q was formed, and it cut through sedimentary rock layers 2, 3, and 4.
- Fault P was formed, and it cut through igneous intrusion Q and sedimentary rock layers 1, 2, 3, and 4.
