An unconformity. There are three main types: angular unconformity, disconformity, and nonconformity.
A gap in sedimentary layers is known as an unconformity, and occurs as a result of either erosion or a period of non-deposition.
Any gap in age of rock between rock layers is called an uncomformity. An unconformity is the contact between two layers representing a gap in the geologic record, usually from the erosion of the layers which would normally be expected to appear.
An ideal sequence of rock layers that contains all the known fossils and rock.
It is called an uncomformity.
The principle of superposition states that in an undisturbed sequence of rock layers, the youngest will be at the top, the oldest at the bottom.

An unconformity is a gap in the sedimentary rock record. This animation shows the formation of an angular unconformity-one where the layers above and below the unconformity are not parallel to each other, but form an angle.
a gap in the geologic record that shows where rock layers have been lost do to erosion
the geologic column is used for identifying the layers in a rock sequence.
The principle of superposition states that in an undisturbed sequence of rock layers, the youngest will be at the top, the oldest at the bottom.
1.Geologists use the geologic column to help them interperet rocks sequences. 2.they use to help them identify rock layers in complicated rock sequence.
