Question

(SELECT ALL THAT APPLY)

Which of the following may be exceptions to the Law of Superposition?


fault blocks

t-h-r-u-s-t faults

turbidites

d-i-k-e-s

lava

Answer 1

thrust faults, turbidite, lava, and fault blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the three exceptions to the law of superposition are intrusions, folding or faulting, and extrusions. Fault blocks are an example of faulting. Lava is relative to extrusions because it is far below the earth when it is formed.

Answer 2

Correct answer is Thrust faults and Turbidites

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two notable exceptions, however. In turbidity currents, an entire graded bed is deposited simultaneously. The turbidity current rushes sediment of all sizes down the slope. When the current slows, the coarse sediment settles to the bottom because the water tends to hold up the finer particles. In thrust faulting, older rocks are pushed on top of younger rocks.
