Question

Using the relative-age dating principles determine the relative age of the geologic materials and events depicted in the figure below. List the letter of the geological features in the proper Event sequence from oldest to youngest. For geologic events describing tilting, and erosion write "tilting" and "erosion" in the proper Event sequence. (for example: A, G, J, tilting, P, erosion, B) There are a total of 14 steps in the sequence counting the erosion that produces the current surface Note: Grey areas are igneous intrusions. During which step is the sill (unit B) emplaced? Angular ormity flow
