Question

identify the image of strata changes that represents the principle of unconformities.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

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.

Answer:

The image with a non - parallel or angular relationship between rock layers (the one with a slanted line or a break in the continuity of layers) represents the principle of unconformities.
