The order of the events and layers from oldest to the youngest.

  1. Layer G
  2. Layer F
  3. Layer E
  4. Layer D
  5. Intrusion A
  6. Layer C
  7. Layer B
  8. Fault H
  9. Erosion Surface

What is each layer about?

Layer G: This is the lowest layer and therefore is considered the oldest in the sequence.

Layer F: This layer lies directly above G, so it must have been deposited next.

Layer E: Similarly, layer E is above F and therefore is next in the sequence.

Layer D: This layer caps E and is therefore next.

Intrusion A: The intrusion cuts across layers G, F, E, and D, so it must be younger than all of these layers.

Layer C: Above layer D and unaffected by the intrusion, so it must have come after.

Layer B: This is the layer on top of C and thus is next.

Fault H: The fault cuts through all layers and the intrusion, so it is younger than all of these features.

Erosion Surface (at the top, represented by the wavy line along the top of layer B): This surface is the youngest feature, cutting across all layers.

Complete question:
