Question

Order the following events from oldest (6) to youngest (1) Region was subjected to compressive stresses as evidenced by the reverse faults that formed. This was also a period of intrusions (Laramide plutons) This time period featured a terrestrial and shallow marine environment at which time the Troy Quartzite was deposited. Additionally, the Martin and Escabrosa Limestones were deposited. Terrestrial environment, indicated by sand and gravel During this time period the Naco Limestone was deposited, which indicates a marine environment. During the time there is evidence for both marine and terrestrial environments. These units were later metamorphosed. In addition to marine and terrestrial rocks, diabase was also deposited. Terrestrial environment indicated by valley- and channel-deposited conglomerates. In addition, this time period featured explosive volcanism and normal faulting

Explanation / Answer

Actually the marine environments are the oldest ones in history, which later have gradually transformed or converted into the marine and the terrestrial and then into the shallow marine and terrestrial and then finally into the terrestrial.

As we know naco and limestones have fomed in marine environment normally 300 million years ago, so they are oldest
Then marine and terristrial got created which later have got metamorphised and diabase was created, which happened around 230 million years ago
This the got converted into shallow marine and terristrial ebvironment in which quatzite along with martin and the escoborsa limestone has got created.

Next intrusion occured here
And then the conglomerates were deposited in valley
Finally gravel and sand got deposited

So the order from oldest to youngest is 3,4,1,6,5,2
