- The new well location is situated between Core 2 and Core 3.
- By correlating the stratigraphic layers across the four cores, a continuous Limestone layer can be traced from Core 1, through Core 2, across the new well location, and into Core 3.
- The dashed lines connecting the cores indicate that this Limestone layer is laterally continuous at approximately the same depth (around 10 meters below the surface) in all correlated sections.
- Therefore, based on the principle of lateral continuity, the new well will encounter the Limestone layer at a depth of approximately 10 meters.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of geologic column worksheet.
