The sequence of deposition is a puzzle that geologists often have to solve. Study the relative positions of the rock layers while considering how this outcrop formed, and then read the following statements and determine which are correct. Select the three that apply. View Available Hint (s)

A close inspection of the sediments near the measuring stick shows no evidence of erosion or weathering.

The environmental conditions (e. g., wind, amount of ash) were similar during deposition of these sediments.

The layer at the bottom of the measuring stick was deposited prior to the layer at the top of the measuring stick.

There is a large clast (a fragment of rock) that appears to be different from and inserted into the sediment.

There is evidence of changes in how sediment was transported during deposition of these sediments.

The layer at the bottom of the measuring stick was deposited prior to the layer at the top of the measuring stick. There is a large clast (a fragment of rock) that appears to be different from and inserted into the sediment. There is evidence of changes in how sediment was transported during deposition of these sediments.

Explanation:

The geologist who studies the sequence of the rocks and that is relative to the layers of the rocks and as the layers of the bottom is aired of the stick deposits before the layers of the measuring and there is a large class of a fragment of the rocks. That appears to be different from the to intersect into the sediments and there is an evidence of the changes in how sediments were transported and deposited during these sediments.
