An unconformity is a buried erosional or non-depositional surface separating two rock masses or strata of different ages, indicating that sediment deposition was not continuous. In general, the older layer was exposed to erosion for an interval of time before deposition of the younger, but the term is used to describe any break in the sedimentary ...

A substantial break or gap in the geologic record where a rock unit is overlain by another that is not next in stratigraphic sucession, such as an interruption in continuity of a depositional sequence of sedimentary rocks or a break between eroded igneous rocks and younger sedimentary strata. It results from a change that caused deposition to cease...

A break in the stratigraphic record which represents a period of no sediment deposition. The interval of geologic time not represented is called a hiatus. There are three types of unconformities: disconformity, nonconformity, and angular unconformity.

In geology, unconformity describes a want of parallelism between strata in contact. With some authors unconformity is equivalent to unconformability; but it is often used more broadly, for example, to include the case when the parallelism of strata once conformable has been disturbed by faulting and the like.

A surface that represents a break in the geologic record, with the rock unit immediately above it being considerably younger than the rock beneath. There are three major aspects to consider (1) Time. An unconformity develops during a period of time in which no sediment is deposited. This concept equates deposition and time, and an unconformity repr...

Surface of erosion or nondeposition eventually overlain by younger sedimentary rock strata and preserved in the geologic record. A surface where the beds above and below lie at different angles is called an angular unconformity.
