In Glacier NP, the Precambrian rocks are in the hanging wall but in Teton NP they are in the footwall… How can that be?Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer.aThe Precambrian rocks were deposited younger rocksbThe younger rocks were deposited on the Precambrian rocks during the PaleozoiccThe younger rocks were thrust on top of the older Precambrian rocks in Teton but not in GlacierdIn Glacier NP the Precambrian rocks were thrust eastward on Cretaceous and are in the hanging wall of the Lewis thrust in Sevier orogeny. At Teton NP, the Precambrian rocks are in the footwall of a major normal fault in the Cenozoic
