Missing time - what are unconformities?

Description
Earth scientists in the field recognize that a sequence of rocks may be missing layers of rocks that represent a period of time.  We call those unconformities.  In this episode, we discuss what an unconformity is and the four main types of unconformities - angular, paraconformity, disconformity, and nonconformity.
