[Unconformity]—a break in the sequence of [rock] [formations] which separates younger [strata] from older ones; caused primarily by removal of older rocks by erosion before those of a later sequence were laid down.

[Weathering]—any natural process, mechanical or chemical, whereby [rocks] are disintegrated or decomposed into smaller particles and ultimately into clay and soil.
