What else can I help you with?
An unconformity will most likely be found in what type of rock?
An unconformity is most likely to be found in sedimentary rock, where there is a gap in the geologic record due to erosion or non-deposition of sediments.
Gaps in rock record?
unconformities
A gap in the geologic record formed when sedimentary rocks cover an eroded surface is called an?
A dis-conformity is an unconformity representing a period of erosion or lack of deposition in a sedimentary rock section.
What is the Geologic time with the poorest fossil record?
Precambrian
How do nonconformity's represent gaps in geologic time?
Nonconformities represent gaps in geologic time where sedimentary rock layers are missing due to erosion or non-deposition. They occur when younger sedimentary layers are deposited atop older, eroded igneous or metamorphic rocks, indicating a period of significant geological activity or change. The presence of a nonconformity suggests a hiatus in the geological record, highlighting intervals where no sediment was laid down or where existing layers were removed, thus creating a time gap in the Earth's history.
How sedimentary rock structures record geologic processes?
They form patterns that can tell you different things about the past, like ripple marks can show that there once may have been water there, which may now be a vast, dry desert.
An unconformity will most likely be found in what type of rock?
An unconformity is most likely to be found in sedimentary rock, where there is a gap in the geologic record due to erosion or non-deposition of sediments.
Which is not the process in the formation of sedimentary rocks?
how does the fossil record provide evidence for evolution?!
Gaps in rock record?
unconformities
Is a gap in the geologic record formed when sedimentary rocks cover an eroded surface called a fault?
No, a gap in the geologic record formed when sedimentary rocks cover an eroded surface is not called a fault. This is known as an unconformity, which represents a period of erosion or non-deposition in the rock record. Faults, on the other hand, are breaks in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred along a fracture.
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.
Which is not a process involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks?
Cementing is not a process involved in the formation of sedimentary rock.
What happens to weathered material one it is deposited and protected from erosion?
Once weathered material is deposited and protected from erosion, it can undergo diagenesis, a process where it gets compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rock. Over time, the sedimentary rock can become part of the Earth's crust through processes like lithification, ultimately becoming a permanent part of the geologic record.
A gap in the geologic record formed when sedimentary rocks cover an eroded surface is called an?
A dis-conformity is an unconformity representing a period of erosion or lack of deposition in a sedimentary rock section.
What is called the record of life forms and geologic events in earth's history?
the record of life forms and geologic events in earth's history is actually called the "Geologic time scale" fine sir. good day
