What else can I help you with?
A break that separates older metamorphic rocks form younger sedimentary rocks immediately above them is a type of unconformity called an?
a nonconformity
When a layer or several layers of rock are missing from a rock layer sequence this is called a what?
Unconformity. An unconformity represents a gap in the geologic record where erosion or non-deposition has led to a break in the sequence of rock layers.
When magma comes up to earths surface and hardens what is it called?
When magma comes up to Earth's surface and hardens, it is called lava.
What is a gap in the geological record preserved in rock called?
A gap in the geological record in a body of rock is called an unconformity.
What is Magma hardened in a horizontal crack?
Magma that hardens in a horizontal crack typically forms a thin, sheet-like intrusion called a sill. Sills are created when magma is injected parallel to the existing rock layers. As the magma cools and solidifies, it forms a horizontal layer of igneous rock within the crack.
A surface that represents a missing part of the geologic column is called a?
It is called an unconformity.
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 a body of extrusive igneous rock called?
The answer to this ? is extrusion
What is a surface that represents a missing part of the geologic column called?
An unconformity. It is a boundary in the rock record where a part of the geologic column is missing due to erosion, non-deposition, or a combination of both.
When a layer or several layers of rock are missing from a rock layer sequence this is called a what?
Unconformity. An unconformity represents a gap in the geologic record where erosion or non-deposition has led to a break in the sequence of rock layers.
When magma comes up to earths surface and hardens what is it called?
When magma comes up to Earth's surface and hardens, it is called lava.
When lava hardens quickly to form ropy formation it is called what?
When lava hardens quickly to form a ropy formation, it is called pahoehoe lava.
Rock that are produced when magma or lava cools and hardens are called?
Rocks that are produced when magma or lava cools and hardens are called Igneous rocks.
Rocks that are produced when magma or lava cools and hardens are called .?
Rocks that are produced when magma or lava cools and hardens are called Igneous rocks.
What is a gap in the geological record preserved in rock called?
A gap in the geological record in a body of rock is called an unconformity.
A place where an old eroded rock surface is in contact with a newer rock?
Is called an unconformity.

Magma that hardens in a horizontal crack typically forms a thin, sheet-like intrusion called a sill. Sills are created when magma is injected parallel to the existing rock layers. As the magma cools and solidifies, it forms a horizontal layer of igneous rock within the crack.
