UNCONFORMITIES ARE THE RECORD OF MAJOR EPISODES OF UPLIFT, EROSION AND SUBSIDENCE DURING THE GROWTH OF THE CONTINENTS AS EARTH HISTORY PROGRESSED. THEY ARE THEREFORE IMPORTANT EVIDENCE FOR CRUSTAL MOBILITY THROUGHOUT EARTH HISTORY.

There are three kinds of unconformities: disconformities, nonconformities, and angular unconformities.

geologists use the geologic colum to interpret rock sequences and to identify layers in puzzling rock sequences. List 2 ways in which the geologists use the geologic column. geologists use the geologic colum to interpret rock sequences and to identify layers in puzzling rock sequences.

Types

• Disconformity.
• Nonconformity.
• Angular unconformity.
• Paraconformity.
• Buttress unconformity.
• Blended unconformity.

Unconformities occur when either erosion wears away rocks, or rock deposits never form. Therefore, a time gap exists between when the rocks below the unconformity formed and when those above it formed. Common to all three, erosion causes them to form, and younger rocks sit on older rocks.

Unconformities are ancient surfaces of erosion and/or non-deposition that indicate a gap or hiatus in the stratigraphic record. An unconformity may be represented on a map by different type of line than that used for other contacts, and in cross-section is shown by a wavy or crenulated line.

Unconformities represent periods of non-deposition of sediment or active erosion of strata. Nonconformity: develops where sediments are deposited on top of an eroded surface of igneous or metamorphic rocks. Paraconformity: strata on either side of the unconformity are parallel, there is little apparent erosion.

Unconformities are gaps in the geologic rock record. They are surfaces of contact between older rocks and younger sedimentary rocks, formed due to erosion or lack of sediment deposition over extended periods of time.

The rock sequence from oldest to youngest is; O, H, B, L, J, A, F, M, D, G, N, E, I, C, K. The relationship between H and O is that O is older than H.

Thin beds of clay and silt mark the end of this formation. The most prominent outcrops of this formation make up the capstone of The West Temple in Zion Canyon. Rain dissolves some of the iron oxide and thus streaks Zion’s cliffs red (the red streak seen on the Altar of Sacrifice is a famous example).

Upon prolonged exposure, the iron in the nail oxidizes and rust is formed as a coating on the surface of the nail. So basically what we have in red rock country is a lot of rusting sandstones and shales. Entrada sandstone, from the late Jurassic, forms the spectacular red, slickrock around Moab.

Zion was a relatively flat basin near sea level 240 million years ago. Nearby mountains eroded sand, gravel, and mud, and streams carried these materials into the basin, where they were deposited in layers. The weight of these layers caused the basin to sink, and the top surface remained near sea level.

ZION is a nature green with a tea undertone. Depending on the light source or time of day, it may appear as a wasabi green on the walls.

Blue is the “Real World” of Zion and represents the Body.

Cyan (/ˈsaɪ. ən, ˈsaɪˌæn/) is the color between green and blue on the visible spectrum of light. It is evoked by light with a predominant wavelength between 490 and 520 nm, between the wavelengths of green and blue.

Zion is a specific, historically important location — the name refers to both a hill in the city of Jerusalem and to the city itself — but it’s also used in a general way to mean “holy place” or “kingdom of heaven.” The root of Zion is the Hebrew Tsiyon, and while the word holds a special importance in the Jewish faith …

Zion is heaven, a place devoted to God, Jerusalem, or the land of Israel. An example of Zion is a mountain near Jerusalem; Mount Zion.

The first Anglo-European settlers, Mormon pioneers, arrived in the area in the late 1800s. They named the area Zion, which is ancient Hebrew for sanctuary or refuge. The name was believed to be a Paiute name meaning straight canyon.

Although the name of Zion is rare in the New Testament, it has been frequently used in Christian literature and hymns as a designation for the heavenly city or for the earthly city of Christian faith and fraternity.

In the New Testament, Mount Zion is used metaphorically to refer to the heavenly Jerusalem, God’s holy, eternal city.

The Bible has two different ways of speaking about two objects of God’s love: Israel and Zion. Israel is masculine, and Zion/Jerusalem is feminine. The difference between the two is more visible in Hebrew which distinguishes masculine and feminine in the verbs as well as in the adjectives.

Rastafari movement In Rastafari, “Zion” stands for a utopian place of unity, peace and freedom, as opposed to “Babylon”, the oppressing and exploiting system of the materialistic modern world and a place of evil.

Jah or Yah (Hebrew: יה‎, Yah) is a short form of Hebrew: יהוה‎ (YHWH), the four letters that form the tetragrammaton, the personal name of God: Yahweh, which the ancient Israelites used. …

Haile Selassie I – God of the Black race Rastafarians regard Haile Selassie I as God because Marcus Garvey’s prophecy – “Look to Africa where a black king shall be crowned, he shall be the Redeemer” – was swiftly followed by the ascension of Haile Selassie as Emperor of Ethiopia.

For Rastas, Eating Pure Food From the Earth is a Sacred Duty. Scotch bonnet peppers, squash, cabbage, pineapples and onions are just a few of the foods Rastafarians use in their cooking.
