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.
unconformities
There are three main types of unconformities: angular unconformity, disconformity, and nonconformity. These unconformities represent gaps in the geologic record where erosion and non-deposition have occurred.
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.
A dis-conformity is an unconformity representing a period of erosion or lack of deposition in a sedimentary rock section.

There are three main types of unconformities: angular unconformity, disconformity, and nonconformity. These unconformities represent gaps in the geologic record where erosion and non-deposition have occurred.
An unconformity between parallel rock layers is a gap in the geologic record where erosion has removed some rock layers before new ones were deposited on top. This results in a lack of continuity in the rock record, representing a period of geologic time that is not preserved in the sequence of rock layers.
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.
Unconformity
An unconformity is a break in the geologic record where layers of rock are missing, typically due to erosion or non-deposition. It represents a gap in time in the rock record that can signify significant changes in the Earth's history, such as periods of uplift and erosion. Unconformities can be used by geologists to interpret past geologic events and the history of a particular area.
Unconformities can lead to challenges in correlating rock layers and interpreting the geologic history of an area. They represent gaps in the geologic record, making it difficult to determine what events occurred during that time period. Unconformities can also complicate efforts to understand the stratigraphy and structural history of a region.
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.
Unconformity: a gap in the geological record where rocks are missing due to erosion or non-deposition. Disconformity: a type of unconformity where the contact between strata represents a period of erosion or non-deposition. Nonconformity: an unconformity where sedimentary rocks overlay igneous or metamorphic rocks.
Unconformities are surfaces that represent gaps in the geologic record that formed wherever layers were not deposited for a time or else layers were removed by erosion.
