Geologically, what is an unconformity? A. Unconformities are created during mountain building processes. They are the result of faulting that forces one rock type up and over another. B. It is an area in which two very different rock types are in contact with one another. This contact (or boundary) is called an unconformity. C. It is a gap in the geological record produced when the deposition of sedimentary rocks is interrupted by either non-deposition over a period of time, or, erosion has removed some of the sediments that were deposited. D. Unconformities are rock types that typically are not found in their typical environments. For example, a sandstone found among a predominately volcanic layer of rocks.
