QUESTION IMAGE
Question
identify the image of strata changes that represents the principle of unconformities.
Unconformities are gaps in the geologic record where rock layers are missing due to erosion or non - deposition. They are represented by a surface where younger rock layers rest on older, eroded rock layers. In the given images, the one with a distinct angular or non - parallel relationship between rock layers or a surface where layers seem to be 'cut off' would represent an unconformity.
