The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) is a national, community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer. They focus their work in 5 areas: research, advocacy, prevention, information and support. The Canadian Cancer Society consists of: 11 provincial and territorial divisions, approximately 220,000 volunteers and approximately 550 full-time staff members. Local efforts are coordinated through divisional offices. Each province is a division of the Canadian Cancer Society with a divisional board of directors, chaired by a volunteer divisional president. Public accountability for the organization rests at the national level.
There are three types of unconformities: disconformity, nonconformity, and angular unconformity. Disconformity An unconformity between parallel layers of sedimentary rocks which represents a period of erosion or non-deposition.est Answer: An unconformity is a gap in time in rock layers, where erosion occurs while deposition slows or stops. The rocks above an unconformity are younger than the rocks beneath (unless the sequence has been overturned).
Unconformities Are Gaps in the Geological Record. Gaps in the geological record, like those discovered in 2005, are called unconformities because they do not conform to typical geological expectations. The concept of an unconformity arises from two of the oldest principles of geology, first stated in 1669 by Nicholas Steno: 1  The Law of Original Horizontality: Layers of sedimentary rock (strata) are originally laid down flat, parallel to the Earth's surface. 2  The Law of Superposition.
