![Page 2: Bedrock NEARBY which location in New York State formed when Pangaea broke up ? (1) Jamestown (3) Utica (2) New York City (4) Mt. Marcy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649db45503460f94aa540b/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Thin layers of volcanic ash act as excellent time markers in the correlation of bedrock because
volcanic ash
(1) is easily eroded and lasts only a short time on Earth’s surface
(2) stays in the atmosphere for millions of years
(3) is deposited over millions of years
(4) falls to Earth over a large area in a short period of time
Just like index fossils!

The photograph shows a bedrock outcrop in northeastern New York State. Line AB is an unconformity between sandstone C and metamorphic rock D.
The lower layers of sediment found in sandstone C were deposited 520 million years ago. During which period of geologic time did this deposition occur?
(1) Cambrian (3) Silurian
(2) Ordovician (4) Triassic
(1) flooding → deposition → erosion → uplift
(2) uplift → erosion → flooding → deposition
(3) deposition → flooding → uplift → erosion
(4) erosion → flooding → uplift → deposition
After the metamorphism of rock D, which sequence of events most probably formed unconformity AB?

The photograph shows a bedrock outcrop in northeastern New York State. Line AB is an unconformity between sandstone C and metamorphic rock D.
If the lower layers of sediment found in sandstone C were deposited during the Cambrian, when may layer D have formed?
Cambrian or Precambrian.

The drill-core samples here were taken from two locations 1000 km
apart. Rock layers 1 through 8 have been labeled. Some index
fossils are shown in the layers.
Which layers most likely formed at the same time?
(1) 1 and 6
(2) 2 and 8 (4) 4 and 7
(3) 3 and 5
Fossils “B” & “D” are
from the Ordovician!
