| Notenote | If sedimentary rocks underlying the surface are horizontal, then the surficial deposit will be concordant, and would be expected to be stratiform if preserved in the geologic record. If the Earth Surface is an erosional surface on older rocks, the deposit will also be unconformity-related. |
