right here shows the strata Graphic relationships of some of

representing when all that crap is for study Okay They
- 00:27
can kind of skim all this stuff if you need
- 00:29
Teo Here we go according to the information and figure
- 00:36
one What is the youngest unit of the sharp formation
- 00:39
appearing in Nebraska when moving south from South Dakota to
- 00:43
Nebraska It's a blue Daring wives are named Ashwell Question
- 00:50
asked for the youngest unit in Nebraska So we're looking
- 00:53
at the right side of the image Whatever is listed
- 00:55
under Nebraska is probably What do you think in Nebraska
- 00:59
Yeah well the young in's among these rocks are on
- 01:02
top The old fogeys are down here on the bottom
- 01:05
So traveling downwards from the word Nebraska we can see
- 01:08
the top Most element is labeled the gathering formation That
- 01:12
means the Gehring formation is the youngest in Nebraska So
- 01:16
the answer is B right there The problem deals with
- 01:18
the youngest ages of the sharp formation So immediately rule
- 01:21
out the oldest formation listed the Brule formation in a
- 01:25
unnamed Ash D and the Woz Or you'll see rock
- 01:28
units There are also older than the Sharps formation Ruling
- 01:32
out these answer Joyce is gives us the confidence to
- 01:35
say that we really rocked this problem What Come on
- 01:39
Like you didn't think we'd go there
