Answer:
Older rock, younger rock
Step-by-step explanation:
As the reverse faults are those that are opposite to those of the normal faults and have a hanging wall that rises relatively to the footwall, thus the reverse faults are formed in the areas undergoing compression. The fault planes are almost vertical and they are offsets and indicated by the series of steep reverse faults. These have been formed by the year-old the may that have been deposited sands by the long term changes on the evolution of the earth.
