Dating methods to place events

I have four rocks Granite, Slate Limestone, and Shale or Mudstone. Field setting of the rocks is as follows: On the bottom is Granite either side of the granite is Slate, on top of Slate is Limestone, the top layer is Shale or Mudstone In the field setting of the above rocks there is a selection of of possible events in the history of the rocks listed Relative dating methods will place the list in the correct chronological order, some of the events may be used more than once. 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

Strata dating using 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... click for more

Rock Formation

(i) What environment and processes are involved in the formation of the following rock types: Granite Slate Limestone Shale or mudstone (ii) Using relative dating methods place the following events in the correct chronological order (most recent first). Some events may be used more than once. • 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 (ii) Using the above events and the information in the answer to (i) state a brief geological history of the area starting with the oldest event.

Rocks/Plate Tectonics

Can you explain : 1. The rock cycle 2. Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock textures 3. Plate tectonic setting and compositional variations

ROCK FORMATION

Can you explain how the processes of rock formation can be inferred from texture and mineral composition?
