Orlov [11]3 years ago

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The shifting of the rock layers generally creates a gap in the total rock record, which is commonly known as an unconformity.

It generally describes the contact surface between the rock layers of two different ages.  

in simple terms, unconformity refers to the period of non-deposition in geological history. This usually takes place due to the weathering and erosion of rock layers as a result of which they disappear from the given sequence of rock.

Hence, the above statement is False.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Weathering is a natural process of break down of rocks or minerals into sub-parts, sediments and others. The two broad categories of weathering which are responsible for breaking down of rock/minerals are:

1. Physical and mechanical weathering: It refers to the process by which the rocks are broken down into sub-parts. This process does not alter the chemical composition of the rocks. The agents such as temperature, pressure, and others.

2. Chemical weathering: It refers to the process by which the rocks are subjected to chemical treatment such as hydrolysis, oxidation, and carbonation. These treatments brings change in the chemical composition of the rocks which further causes the disintegration of rocks.
