Mercalli Map showing Earthquake Intensity 2 earthquakes: Diagram shows the lines of equal intensity. Epicenter is located at the location of highest intensity. Intensity and magnitude decrease as the distance from the epicenter increases.

Strike Slip Normal Fault Reverse Fault Convergent Boundary Transform Boundary Divergent Boundary

Rock Layers that are the same composition and same age:

Rock Dating Rule of Superposition – Older rock layers on bottom. Rule of intrusion-the intrusion is younger than the rock layer it is intruding upon. Rule of faulting- a fault is younger than the rocks that have been broken in the fault. Order of rock layers oldest to youngest: 5,4,3,2,6,1

Put the rocks in order by age. Oldest to youngest

Put the rocks in order by age. Oldest to youngest: D,C, A,B

Write the names of the rock layers in order oldest to youngest

Rock layers in order oldest to youngest: A,C,D,B
