Assembled Stratigraphic Model 1.
Observe the model and notice how the layers vary based on the perspective with which you look at the block. Consider the processes that created these formations.
Rank the events on the model from oldest to youngest in Data Table 1, including the type of event (deposition, erosion, or tectonic) and the principle(s) of relative dating used.
Note: An example is provided in Data Table 1. Some letters denote geologic events and not actual rock layers.
Repeat steps 2-6 with the two remaining models, recording your event rankings in Data Table 2 and Data Table 3.
