Use the diagram to answer the question.

A diagram shows a cutaway view of layers of rock. The top horizontal layer is labeled A. Under that layer is another horizontal layer labeled B. Layer D is under layer B and is tilted. Under that layer is layer E, which is also tilted. Under that layer is layer F, which is tilted. Under that layer is layer G, also tilted. Layer J appears under layer G. Layer I cuts horizontally through layers B, D, E, F, G, and J. A line labeled H cuts diagonally through layers A, B, E, F, and G.

To determine the correct responses for each layer based on their formation order, we can analyze the positions of the layers according to the diagram's description:

  1. Layer F: Since layer F is tilted and is below other layers such as A and B and above G, it must have formed before layers above it but after the layers that are horizontal above it. However, since it is interrupted by the diagonal cut of layer H, we can establish that layer F likely formed in the earlier stages of rock formation but definitely after B. Thus, it can be categorized as "Response area formed more recently."

  2. Layer H: Since layer H cuts diagonally through multiple layers (A, B, E, F, and G), it must have formed after all those layers. Therefore, we categorize layer H as the "Response area was the last to form."

  3. Layer G: Layer G, being a tilted layer and positioned below H, likely formed before H was created, but it has to be one of the later-formed layers compared to earlier formations (like A, B, and even F). So we can categorize layer G as "Response area formed first."

Putting this all together:

  • Layer F: Response area formed more recently.
  • Layer H: Response area was the last to form.
  • Layer G: Response area formed first.
