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 is a gap in the rock record caused by erosion?
Any gap in age of rock between rock layers is called an uncomformity. 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.
