Mudflows in Daly

In Daly, California a water pipe burst causing a mudslide. The water pipe was built in the early 1930s and had never been repaired. The mudflow did not damage the exterior of houses on Lausanne Avenue but half buried about half a dozen cars parked on the side of the road. Also many people are having plumbing problems. One man said that his toilet overflowed and water went into his bedroom and living room. The city council has decided to spend about one million dollars on the damage. $497,100 will be spent on repairing the gash that the water tore through a hillside, $80,000 will be spent on cleaning the mud, $200,000 will be spent repairing the pipe, and $150,000 will be set aside for possible overages.

Which Layer of Rock Came First?

From oldest to youngest the layers of rock are: 4,5,2,B,6,1,3,A
The reason 4 and 5 are listed as the oldest is because they are on the bottom. 2 is next because it cut through 4 and 5  but the B cut through 4, 5 and 2 so that make it younger than 4, 5 and 2. Next is number 6 because it is above the layers listed before, then it is number 1 because it is above all the layers listened before. Then is number 3 because it cuts through every layer answered before. The lastly is conformity A because it is conforming everything and not just some layers.

Is the Earth 6,000 years old?

The answer is no! About three or four hundred years ago people started to question whether the Earth was six thousand years old. One of the reasons why people started to question if the Earth was really only that old was that they could see how many layers of rocks there were and saw that there were too many layers of rocks for only six thousand years.
