What is erosional surface?
surface effected by erosion
What erosional agent accounts for most of the erosion on Earth's surface?
Moving water is the main erosional agent on the surface of the Earth.
An unconformity is a buried?
A surface between successive strata representing a missing interval in the geologic record of time, and produced either by an interruption in deposition or by the erosion of depositionally continuous strata followed by renewed deposition.
Which erosional feature most likely formed on the surface of the bedrock under the glacial ice?
parralel grooves
Does The erosional process which causes rock to change into soil is called weathering?
no
What term denotes a buried erosional surface where rock layers are missing?
unconformity
What general term denotes a buried erosional surface where rock layers are missing?
unconformity
Which feature is represented between the green shale and the tan sandstone?
a buried erosional surface

What is a place in the rock record where two rock units are separated by an erosional surface?
An Unconformity is an erosional or non-depositional surface that separates rocks of two different ages. This is represented by missing sediments in the stratigraphic column. If the time period represented by the missing sediments is small, the unconformity is called a diastem.

What is two sedimentary rock layers separated by an erosional surface?
Disconformity
Which kind of uncomformity has an erosional surface between parallel strata?
disconformity
What are erosional plains?
Erosional plains are developments on the Earth's surface caused by natural weathering of glacier activity, wind movement or water (sea, river & stream) torrent and are subdivided on the basis of the type of erosional agent.
What is a movement within the earth that causes buried rock to be exposed at the earth's surface called?
The movement within the Earth that causes buried rock to be exposed at the Earth's surface is called uplift. It refers to the vertical elevation of the Earth's surface.
