Drag and drop the boxes into the correct order.

Reorder the following statements into chronological order to explain the formation of scarp and vale topography.

More recently, tectonic forces uplifted the area above sea level, forming an anticline fold.
Finally, exposed areas of chalk remained as scarps or areas which are higher than the surrounding clay which forms the vales.
Most recently still, the clay was more easily broken down than chalk by the processes of physical and biological weathering.
Firstly, millions of years ago the UK was covered by warm seas, where shells of sea creatures were deposited on the sea bed.
The sea creatures which were deposited had calcium-rich shells which were compressed over time to form chalk rock.
The anticline folding exposed less-resistant clay layers of rock below the chalk.
