What else can I help you with?
What general term denotes a buried erosional surface where rock layers are missing?
unconformity
What is the relative age of a fault or igneous intrusion that cuts through an unconformity?
The relative age of a fault or igneous intrusion that cuts through an unconformity is younger than the unconformity but older than the rock it cuts through. This is because the fault or intrusion must have formed after the deposition of the rock layers below the unconformity but before the deposition of the rock layers above the unconformity.
What can directly lead to unconformity on an exposed rock?
Uneven rock layers.
What type of unconformity is present below the conglomerate?
Apologies, but I do not know what unconformity you are referring to. However, I can tell you that conglomerate IS present as an unconformity in many cases due to the nature of it's formation. Conglomerate is often produced during a flash-flood, so all rock strata from the period appear interrupted by the unconformity of Conglomerate which was deposited very quickly, then after burial was cemented and lithified. My answer, therefore, is that conglomerate is common as an unconformity.
What feature is formed when a sedimentary rock overlies a nonsedimentary rock layer?
Unconformity
The kind of rock that you are most likely to find in fossils?
Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rock.
What rock is most likely to be found in a kitchen?
Granite.
What is the most common type of unconformity?
The most common type of unconformity is an angular unconformity, where older tilted layers of rock are overlain by younger horizontal layers, indicating a period of deformation and erosion before deposition of the younger layers.
What general term denotes a buried erosional surface where rock layers are missing?
unconformity
What is an unconformity between two sedimentary layers most likely produced by?
An unconformity between two sedimentary layers is most likely produced by a period of erosion or non-deposition that interrupts the sedimentation process. This can occur due to tectonic activity, sea-level changes, or climate shifts that halt sediment accumulation and create a gap in the rock record.
What type of rock is most likely not found in a fossil?
Igneous.
Where would this type of rock most likely be found?
africa.
What type rock will most likely found in a desert?
Sedimentary rock like sandstone
What is the relative age of a fault or igneous intrusion that cuts through an unconformity?
The relative age of a fault or igneous intrusion that cuts through an unconformity is younger than the unconformity but older than the rock it cuts through. This is because the fault or intrusion must have formed after the deposition of the rock layers below the unconformity but before the deposition of the rock layers above the unconformity.
What can directly lead to unconformity on an exposed rock?
Uneven rock layers.
What name is given to layers of tilted rocks that are overlain by younger more flat lying rock layers?
angular unconformity
What is the definition angular unconformity?
Angular unconformity is a type of unconformity in which tilted or folded rock layers are overlain by horizontal rock layers. This indicates a period of deformation and erosion followed by deposition of younger sedimentary layers. It represents a gap in the geologic record.
