    EARTH SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!?

    This is the assignment please help.
    In this laboratory experiment, you will write a narrative history of a rock section found in the Grand Canyon. You will describe and explain the events starting with the Vishnu Schist forming and ending with the unconformity above the Redwall Limestone in the Mississippian. Your description should include environmental changes.
    Example:

    oSea level lowered, and the Esplanade Sandstone was deposited in a beach environment.
    oErosion, and the sea level rose.
    oHermit Shale deposited in a deeper sea.
    oSea level drops, returning the area to a beach environment where the Coconino Sandstone was deposited.

    Symbol
    NameEnvironment


    SandstoneBeach or nearshore environment


    LimestoneForms in warm shallow seas


    ShaleDeep sea


    Igneous Rock (Granite)Formed when rocks melt and then recrystalize


    Metamorphic Rock
    (Schist)Formed when rocks are severely deformed without melting; in this cross section, the Vishnu Schist represents the original surface in the area


    Igneous intrusion Magma melting and rising from deeper levels

    Hint: How can you tell the difference between an intrusion and rocks melting in place? Rocks melting in place usually appear as a large mass, whereas intrusions seem to have risen up from a source.
