Discussion: Relative Dating Methods
The question was about four rocks Granite, Slate, Limestone and Shale or Mudstone. For example, the field setting of rocks is as follows:
On the bottom is what I think to be a pluton of granite either side is slate, on top of slate is limestone, and on top of limestone is Shale or Mudstone. In the field setting of the above, there is a selection of possible events in the history of the rocks listed.
- A time gap in deposition
- Deposition of shale
- Intrusion of granite pluton
- Folding of shale
- Metamorphism of shale
- Deposition of limestone
- Uplift, weathering and erosion
Use relative dating methods to place events in the list in the current chronological order. Corresponding to the field setting. I need to know what is the correct chronological order. I apologize for not making myself clearer previously.
