Beach sand, lake mud, sand dunes, glacial moraines, river deltas, river silt, gravel bars, ocean sediments, and coal deposits are all examples of geologic deposition.

What are examples of the deposition process?

Examples of the deposition process include the formation of sedimentary rocks through the accumulation of sediments, the deposition of minerals from solution in geothermal areas to form mineral deposits, and the deposition of snow and ice in glaciers.


What are examples of a coastal deposition?

Examples of coastal deposition include the formation of beaches, sand dunes, spits, and barrier islands. These landforms are created by the deposition of sediment carried by waves, currents, and tides along the coast.


Which feature causes a gap in the geologic record?

An unconformity causes a gap in the geologic record, representing a period of erosion or non-deposition that results in missing layers of rock. This gap can be caused by tectonic forces, sea level changes, or other geological events that interrupt the deposition or preserve of sedimentary layers.


What is a gap in an area's geologic history called?

A gap in an area's geologic history is called an unconformity. This represents a period of time where rock layers are missing due to erosion or non-deposition. Unconformities can help geologists understand the timing and duration of geological events.


What is the difference between conformable and unconformable strata?

When layers of rocks are deposited in a continuous succession through time without any significant break in deposition they are conformable. But if deposition is interrupted or there is an episode of erosion between deposition then the boundary between the older and younger rocks is unconformable, in essence part of the geologic record is missing.

Erosion of already deposited layers or a time span of non-deposition.


Are sand dunes and deltas examples of erosion?

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.

examples of deposition would include wind picking up sand and depositing it to a different area or the oceans waves washing ashore a bunch of shells
