No I'm not cheating i just need some clarification. I'm working on a lab report on cross section in the Grand Canyon.
Number 1 is :Interpret the bottom half of the cross section below. Start with the Vishnu Schist and end with the Redwall Limestone.
I have answered the order of rocks and the environmental changes.
But it also says: Attention to detail and completeness. What does this mean?
Just details that I've noticed? please explain for me. if you can help in any way, it would be much appreciated... thx

I suppose, as in all sciences, be thorough. Consider all reasonable possibilities that could occur.
For example, you could include in your report that between the Vishnu Schist and the Redwall Limestone exists: Two Disconformities, An angular unconformity, and a nonconformity. Perhaps you could include what you think happened during the loss of geologic time and how they were eroded. That would also be a good time to mention any intrusions or differential weathering thats taken place as well as the tectonic history of the grand canyon.
