<em>Rocks erode and sediment is deposited, and No sediment is deposited over a long time.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The most common reason for the formation of <em>uncomformity is erosion</em>. The <em>times of formation of the rocks</em> above and below the uncomformity are different when no sediment is deposited over a long time.

The rock above the uncomformity are younger than the rocks below the uncomformity. Types of uncomformity are <em>angular uncomformity, discomformity and non comformity.</em>

In angular discomformity  horizontal sedimentary rock layers are formed above sedimentary rock layers that are in tilted position. Discomformity lies between two <em>horizontal sedimentary rock layers</em>. Non comformity lies between<em> sedimentary and igneous rock layers or metamorphic rocks.</em>

Why does frozen water take on the pattern it does (hint: it has to do with water’s polarity)?
damaskus [11]

When ice forms, one water molecule's hydrogen atoms form weak hydrogen bonds with the tops of the oxygen atoms of two other water molecules. Lining up the water molecules in this pattern takes up more space than randomly arranging them.

<h3>What is polarity?</h3>

A physical property of compounds that connects other physical properties like melting and boiling points, solubility, and intermolecular interactions between molecules is referred to as polarity.

When ice forms, one water molecule's hydrogen atoms form weak hydrogen bonds with the tops of the oxygen atoms of two other water molecules.

Lining up the water molecules in this pattern takes up more space than randomly arranging them.

When water freezes, the water molecules slow down enough that their attractions arrange them into fixed positions. Water molecules freeze in a hexagonal pattern, with molecules further apart than when the water was liquid.

Thus, because of this frozen water take on the pattern it does.
