Question

This photograph shows an angular unconformity in a canyon in Colorado. with Paleozoic sedimentary layers resting on vertical Precambrian layers. Drag the events so that they are in the correct order, from oldest at the bottom (6) to youngest at the top (1). Uplift of the metamorphic rocks from deeper levels of the crust to the surface, accompanied by erosion of Erosion along the unconformity prior to burial. Formation of the Precambrian rock prior to metamorphism. Erosion that formed the canyon in which the layers are exposed. Deposition of Paleozoic sediments above the unconformity. Metamorphism and tilting of the metamorphic rocks.

Explanation / Answer

1 - Youngest - Erosion that formed the canyon in which the layers are exposed

2 - Deposition of Paleozoic sediments above the unconformity

3 - Erosion along the unconformity prior to burial

4 - Uplift of the metamorphic rocks from deeper levels of the crust to the surface, accompanied by erosion

5 - Metamorphism and tilting of the metamorphic rock

6 - Oldest - Formation of the Precambrain rock prior to metamorphism
