Question

Units A, B, C, D, and E are sedimentary rocks. The thick dark line is a fault.
 
-When did faulting occur?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fault lies between the deposition of B and C. It is evident that the layers of B and C were horizontally displaced due to the faulting event. The layers above and below the fault (A and D) appear to be undisturbed. Therefore, the faulting occurred between the deposition of B and C.
