DISCONFORMABLE Meaning and Definition

1. Disconformable is an adjective that describes something that does not conform or agree with something else, particularly in terms of geological strata or layers. In the field of geology, disconformable refers to a type of unconformity or gap between layers of rock or sediment that indicates a break or interruption in the deposition process.

   When layers of rock are formed, they are typically horizontal or parallel to each other. However, when there is a hiatus or interruption in the deposition process, such as due to erosion or non-deposition, disconformity occurs. It can be identified by the presence of a distinct boundary or surface between two layers of rock that indicate a time gap.

   In terms of stratigraphy, disconformable layers can have different ages or be of the same age but with a noticeable absence of certain rock layers. This can occur due to erosion, weathering, or other geological processes.

   Outside of the field of geology, disconformable can also be used metaphorically to describe something that deviates or diverges from a standard or norm. It indicates a lack of conformity or agreement, either in terms of ideas, behaviors, or principles.

   In summary, disconformable refers to a geological condition where there is a noticeable interruption or gap between layers of rock or sediment, indicating a break in the deposition process. It can also be used more broadly to describe a lack of conformity or agreement in various contexts.

2. Wanting agreement.
