Slumps take place as a movement of earth or rock material, often as several independent units, creating a number of step-like "terracettes." Undercutting of slopes by stream erosion, waves, and road building are common causes of slumping.
Here is an example of a slump

PUNISHMENT
The gulf oil spill was one to cause extensive damage to marine and wildlife habitats as well as the Gulf's fishing and tourism industries. It is estimated that over 53,000 barrels of oil were being spilled every day. Although the flow of oil has stop, it still is having affects on the wildlife and the people living in that area. The total amount of Louisiana shoreline impacted by oil grew from 287 in July to 320 miles in late November of 2010. I have read that the U.S. government has blamed the BP as the responsible party and officials have committed to holding the company accountable for all cleanup costs and other damage. If this is the case then i vote yes for these people to pay for all damages to the communities and the marine life. I also think that the families of the workers who died should get something for what they've gone through, even a letter of apology would be good. All I want is that the people who are responsible for this should be brought to justice.

This is a photo of amber a sap like substance that would encase small insects like this mosquito and fossilize it. This is an example of original remains because it still has all of its tissues and organs.
This is a photo of a T-rex skeleton. There is one funny thing about this pic, the funny thing is is that those aren't its real bones. This is an example of replaced remains this dinosaurs bones were replaced by different minerals.

The order of these is 3,1,6,2,5,4
You can tell that 3 is the youngest because it's an intrusion and it's pushed its way to the surface.
4 is the oldest because it goes the farthest down out of each layer.
2 and 3 are intrusions so they are going to be young.
1 is also very young because it is at the top of the layers.
5 and 6 are just there they are both in the middle of young and old.
As you can see where b is labeled there is a crack in the layers there is actually an intrusion on both sides of b so they are the same.
