This document discusses principles for ordering geologic events and stratigraphic layers based on a diagram. It asks the reader to 1) arrange labels from oldest to youngest based on the diagram, 2) name the numbered unconformities and tectonic events from 1 to 8, and 3) explain the lateral facies relationship in images by describing the geological processes involved in forming the rock sequences.

Use relative order principles of the geologic events together with stratigraphic principles to answer the following questions
based on the given diagram.
1. Arrange all labels on the image from the oldest to the youngest (30 Marks) 2. All the number labels are unconformities and tectonic events, name them starting from 1 to 8. (8 Marks) Explain the lateral facies relationship in the following images with emphasis on the processes involved in making the sequence of rocks to be presented the way it appears. (10 Marks)
