Question
Use the diagram to answer the question.
A diagram shows a cutaway view of layers of rock. The top horizontal layer is labeled A. Under that layer is another horizontal layer labeled B. Layer D is under layer B and is tilted. Under that layer is layer E, which is also tilted. Under that layer is layer F, which is tilted. Under that layer is layer G, also tilted. Layer J appears under layer G. Layer I cuts horizontally through layers B, D, E, F, G, and J. A line labeled H cuts diagonally through layers A, B, E, F, and G.

The response area formed first is the layer A.
To answer the question, we need to analyze the diagram of the layers of rock. The options provided are "Response area formed first," "Response area formed more recently," and "Response area was the last to form."
From the information given, we can determine the relative order of the formation of the response areas as follows:
1. Layer A is the topmost horizontal layer.
2. Layer B is below layer A.
3. Layer D is under layer B and is tilted.
4. Layer E is under layer D and is also tilted.
5. Layer F is under layer E and is tilted as well.
6. Layer G is under layer F and is also tilted.
7. Layer J appears under layer G.
8. Layer I cuts horizontally through layers B, D, E, F, G, and J.
9. Line H cuts diagonally through layers A, B, E, F, and G.
Based on this information, we can conclude that the response area formed first is Layer A (topmost horizontal layer) and the response area formed more recently is Layer J (under layer G). Therefore, the response area that was the last to form is Layer J.
So, the correct answer would be:
Response area formed first: Layer A
Response area formed more recently: Layer J
Response area was the last to form: Layer J
To answer this question, we need to analyze the diagram of the layers of rock given in the question. The information provided includes various layers (labeled A, B, D, E, F, G, I, and J) and a line labeled H that cuts diagonally through some of these layers.
We are asked to determine which response area formed first, which formed more recently, and which was the last to form.
To figure this out, we can examine the relative positioning of the layers and the line labeled H.
Looking at the diagram, we can see that layer A is at the top, indicating that it was the first layer to form. Layer B is right below layer A, suggesting that it formed after layer A.
Layer D is below layer B and is tilted, indicating that it formed after layer B. Layer E is below layer D and also tilted, suggesting that it formed after layer D. Similarly, layer F is below layer E and tilted, and layer G is below layer F and tilted, implying that they formed after their respective preceding layers.
Layer J appears under layer G, suggesting that it formed after layer G. Lastly, layer I cuts horizontally through layers B, D, E, F, G, and J, indicating that it formed after all of these layers.
The line labeled H cuts diagonally through layers A, B, E, F, and G. Since it intersects layers A and B, but does not pass through layer D, it suggests that layer D formed after the line H was formed.
Based on this information, we can determine that the response area formed first is layer A, the response area formed more recently is layer I, and the response area that was the last to form is layer D.
