    What is an Unconformity?

    An unconformity is a geological feature that is not in the general plan or sequence of layers of the Earth's surface. Many unconformities are associated with thick sedimentary beds, which are difficult to cross. The most significant unconformity in the Appalachian mountains is the New York-New Jersey Highland Boundary, which separates the thin sheets of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic periods.
