What is the relative age relationship of faults to the rocks they cut?

Faults are younger than the rocks they cut through, as they are formed after the rock units. The offset layers or rocks along a fault help geologists determine the relative age relationship between the fault and the surrounding rocks.


Are intrusive rocks younger than the rocks they cut across?

No, intrusive rocks are typically younger than the rocks they cut across. This is because they are formed when molten rock (magma) solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, usually after the surrounding rocks have already formed.


Which rock can be cut into thin smooth strips?

Most sedimentary rocks meet this requirement, but occasionally even volcanic rock may be laid down in a relatively thin layer. But not in the multiply splittable character of shale or slate for example. If the layer has been partly metamorphosed to help re-form the minerals into plates, then this characteristic may be more readily seen. Naturally, the source sediment contains minerals that make some shales more 'fissile' than others.

What is the rock type like in barton on sea?

The rock type in Barton on Sea is mainly composed of soft sedimentary rocks, such as clays and sands. These rocks are easily eroded by the sea, leading to cliff erosion and the formation of unique coastal landforms, such as sea stacks and wave-cut platforms.
