What is parallel or tangential to the surface of a circle?
a crescent
Does a sphere have parallel lines?
Not normally on its surface.
Does a cylinder have a parallel base?
A cylinder has two parallel, usually circular bases connected by a curved surface.
Why can't parallel lines intersect?
In Euclidian geometry, which is the geometry of a plane surface, parallel lines do not intersect because that is the definition of parallel lines. But note that there are other geometrical systems in which parallel lines do intersect, for example if they are drawn on the surface of a sphere. Definition of parallel lines: Lines that always stay the same distance apart and never meet.
How many curved surface does a cylinder has?
A cylinder has 2 equal parallel flat surface circular bases and a curved surface body.
What is a buried erosional surface called?
a buried erosional surface is called unconformity.
What is erosional surface?
surface effected by erosion
Which feature is represented between the green shale and the tan sandstone?
a buried erosional surface
What erosional agent accounts for most of the erosion on Earth's surface?
Moving water is the main erosional agent on the surface of the Earth.
When the surface of new rock layers meet a much older rock beneath them what is it called?
Uncomformity
What is two sedimentary rock layers separated by an erosional surface?
Disconformity
What are erosional plains?
Erosional plains are developments on the Earth's surface caused by natural weathering of glacier activity, wind movement or water (sea, river & stream) torrent and are subdivided on the basis of the type of erosional agent.
What term denotes a buried erosional surface where rock layers are missing?
unconformity
What general term denotes a buried erosional surface where rock layers are missing?
unconformity
What is the portion of the surface of a sphere included between two parallel planes?
zone
Which erosional feature most likely formed on the surface of the bedrock under the glacial ice?
parralel grooves
What is a place in the rock record where two rock units are separated by an erosional surface?
An Unconformity is an erosional or non-depositional surface that separates rocks of two different ages. This is represented by missing sediments in the stratigraphic column. If the time period represented by the missing sediments is small, the unconformity is called a diastem.
