Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: Eroded surfaces are covered by younger rocks.

Explanation:

The contacts between strata that do not occur underlying rocks in immediate order of age, or that do not fit together with them as part of a continuous whole, are called inconfonnities.

Thus an inconfonnity is a surface of erosion or non deposition that represents a significant hiatus, and separates younger strata from older rocks.

The answer is: Eroded surfaces are covered by younger rocks.
