Unconformities

Explanation;

• Gaps in rock layers that develop when agents of erosion remove existing rock layers are known as unconformities.

• Each unconformity represents a missing layer of rock or a gap in the rock layers. It is a contact between sedimentary rocks which are different in age or between sedimentary rocks and older, eroded igneous or metamorphic rocks.

• Unconformities represents gaps in geologic record, periods of time which are not represented by any rocks. Unconformities may take three different forms, namely, the disconformities, angular unconformities and the nonconformities.
