What is surface geologic process?
Surface Geologic Processes also reffered to as, Exogeneous Geologic Processes, are the processes that operates on the Earth's surface and helps to reconstruct the Earth externally. They include, Erosion, Weathering, Mass Wasting, Orogeny. Their agents are called the Epigeal Geological Agents, and include, Wind, Water, Glacier, Waves etc.
A gap in the geologic record formed when sedimentary rocks cover an eroded surface is called an?
A dis-conformity is an unconformity representing a period of erosion or lack of deposition in a sedimentary rock section.
What is the longest segments of geologic time called?
Precambrian Era.
What era of the geologic time scale do you live in?
This period is called holocene.
What is this geologic process called when water splits a rock?
Mechanical weathering.

It is called an unconformity.

What is a flat map that represents a spherical surface called?
This is called a map projection.
What is the largest subdivision of geologic time?
The longest in geological time is an Eon eg. Archeozoic Eon . Edit: there is also the supereon, which is usually composed of 2-3 eons.

What is a gap in an area's geologic history called?
A gap in an area's geologic history is called an unconformity.
What do you called the scale of time that records the events about the history of the earth?
Geologic Time. It's called the Geologic Time Scale.
Is a gap in the geologic record formed when sedimentary rocks cover an eroded surface called a fault?
No. It is called an unconformity. A fault is a fracture along which blocks of rock have moved relative to one another.
What does geologic time have to do with eras?
Eras are subdivisions of larger units of geologic time called eons.
The record of life forms and geologic events in Earth's history is called?
the record of life forms and geologic events in earth's history is actually called the "Geologic time scale" fine sir. good day

What is the rounded uplifting of the earth's surface due to rising magma forming a mountain?
The rounded uplifting of the Earth's surface due to rising magma forming a mountain is called tectonic uplift. It refers to the geologic uplift that is not attributable to an isostatic response to unloading.
