While hiking in the Grand Canyon of northern Arizona, you stop and observe an outcrop that
exposes three different sedimentary rock types. On the bottom is a layer of shale, which is
overlain by a layer of limestone, which is in turn overlain by a layer of sandstone. This
stratigraphic sequence indicates a _________ or a _________ in sea-level occurred in this
location in the past.

This is GEOLOGY Ash A 12,000 y.b.p. 10 years Ash B 14,000 y.b.p. 1,000 years
Solution
1. Frequency of localize earthquakes; these are counted for future eruptions by geologists. Short
and long earthquakes and tremors frequencies are used for the study.
2. The fossil bones are between 14,000 and 12,000 years old; the older ash is buried first then the
rest comes to cover this. If a fossil lies between two types of Ash of having different years before

7. present (YBP) period then the fossil age should present between the two periods of ash.
3. Granite is sometimes precipitated from marine water; because the plutonic rock forms through
the eruption of magma which gets reacted with ocean water.
4. Tensional; this tectonic stress is most likely responsible for the formation of layers of strata.
5. A meteorite impact; 65 million
