A gap in the sequence of rock layers is a?
An unconformity. There are three main types: angular unconformity, disconformity, and nonconformity.
Which is not a type of unconformity?
Anything that is not a nonconformity, angular uncomformity, and discomformity
A break that separates older metamorphic rocks form younger sedimentary rocks immediately above them is a type of unconformity called an?
a nonconformity
What is an unconformity between parallel rock layers?
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.
Which type of unconformity exists between parallel layers of sedimentary rock?
Disconformity

What is the difference between angular unconformity disconformity and nonconformity?
Angular unconformity is when rocks are deformed and then eroded and then new sediment is deposited on top. Disconformity is when igneous or metamorphic rocks are eroded and then sediment is deposited on top. Nonconformity is when either there is no deposition for some time and then deposition resumes or horizontal layers are eroded (but not deformed in any way) and then deposition resumes. These create gaps in the rock record.
What are types of unconformities that can occur in rock layers?
1. Disconformity. 2. Angular Unconformity. 3. Non-Conformity.
A break that separates older metamorphic rocks form younger sedimentary rocks immediately above them is a type of unconformity called an?
a nonconformity
What characteristic most directly distinguishes an angular unconformity from a nonconformity?
Angular unconformities separate rock layers along nonparallel surfaces
What are the different types of unconformities?
An unconformity is defined as a buried erosional or non-depositional surface separating two rock masses or strata of different ages, indicating that sediment deposition was not continuous. The different types of unconformities include disconformity, nonconformity, angular unconformity, paraconformity, buttress unconformity, blended unconformity, and biconformity.
What is the synonym for nonconformity?
As conformity stands for sticking to or obeying to rules of a society, nonconformity means the exact opposite. Hence, the synonyms of nonconformity are the antonyms of conformity ie disobedience, unorthodox, difference and refusal etc As conformity stands for sticking to or obeying to rules of a society, nonconformity means the exact opposite.

What is an unconformity between parallel rock layers?
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.
A One million year old layer of sandstone laying on top of a 1.5 million year old layer of granite is an example of?
this is a type of unconformity called a nonconformity characterized by a sedimentary strata overlying an igneous or metamoprhic crystalline bedrock
What part of speech is nonconformity?
Nonconformity is a noun.
What is a rock unconformity?
a break in a sedimentary sequence that does not involves a difference of inclination between the strata on each side of the break
