Which of the following geologic observations would not bear directly on working out the sequence of geologic events in an area? A) a well- exposed dike of basalt in sandstone B) an unconformity between a granite and sandstone C) inclusions of sandstone in a granite pluton D) the feldspar and quartz contents of a granite

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The feldspar and quartz contents of a granite are not directly related to the sequence of geologic events but rather the composition of the rock. The other observations (a dike of basalt in sandstone, an unconformity, and inclusions of sandstone in a granite pluton) provide information about the relative timing and order of different geologic events.
