  1. To determine the relative ages of the rock layers and features, we typically follow geological principles such as the Law of Superposition, which states that in undisturbed layers of rock, the oldest layers are at the bottom and the youngest ones are at the top.

    Without seeing the diagram, I can provide a general approach:

    1. Identify which letter corresponds to the top layer of rock. This is the youngest (1).
    2. Proceed downward, marking each subsequent layer or feature as you go deeper until you reach the deepest layer, which is the oldest (5).

    Your final labeling from youngest to oldest would depend on the specific arrangement shown in your diagram. If you can provide details about the arrangement, I’d be happy to assist further! Always make sure to consider any features like faults or intrusions that may complicate the order.
