- The fault (P) cuts through layers Q, O, N, M, L, and K, indicating it is younger than all these layers.
- Layer K is on top of layer J, so K is younger than J.
- Layer J is on top of layer H, so J is younger than H.
- Layer H is on top of layer L, so H is younger than L.
- Layer L is on top of layer M, so L is younger than M.
- Layer M is on top of layer N, so M is younger than N.
- Layer N is on top of layer O, so N is younger than O.
- Layer O is on top of layer Q, so O is younger than Q.
- Therefore, the correct order from oldest to youngest is: Q, O, N, M, L, H, J, K, P.
