Which of the following sequences of events is consistent with the presence of a layer of sandstone in bedrock just above a layer of shale?

options

  1. One-celled organisms developed a colony on the seafloor. Shells made by these organisms accumulated and lithified, forming the sandstone.
  2. A meteorite impact created a crater. The impact pulverized rock into sand-sized particles that later lithified into sandstone.
  3. A forest grew, died, and decayed on top of a layer of shale. The organic material transformed into sandstone over time.
  4. The water level of a large lake lowered. A beach then formed where previously there had been lake bottom.
  5. Mud was deposited and lithified. Subsequent contact metamorphism resulted in localized recrystallization of the shale into sandstone.
  6. A volcano erupted, sending lava out over a layer of shale. The lava cooled and hardened into sandstone.
  7. A river carried silt and clay that settled over a layer of shale. Over time, this material compacted into sandstone.
  8. Tectonic activity pushed sandstone rock from deep within the Earth's surface to just above a layer of shale.
