A gap in the geologic record formed when sedimentary rocks cover an eroded surface is called an?

unconformity. It represents a period of missing time in the rock record, where deposition was not continuous due to erosion or non-deposition of sediment layers.

What is the difference between a topographic profile and a geologic cross section?

A topographic profile is a plot showing the shape of the surface of the ground (so hills, hillocks, dips, valleys and the like). Whereas a geologic cross section shows the order and structure of soils and / or rocks below the ground surface. Geologic sections are typically created by first drawing a topographic profile of the section of interest then adding in the underlying strata. An example of the way they are created is given in the related links.

Contour maps are used to show the below ground surface of geologic strata, fault surfaces (especially low angle thrust faults) and unconformities. Isopach maps use isopachs (lines of equal thickness) to illustrate variations in thickness of geologic units.
