An unconformity is a gap in the sedimentary rock record. This animation shows the formation of an angular unconformityone where the layers above and below the unconformity are not parallel to each other, but form an angle.Examine how the final result allows you to infer the sequence of the rocks' formation.his animation shows the formation of an angular unconformityone where the layers above and below the unconformity are not parallel to each other, but form an angle.

The typical on-site master's degree program takes two years of full-time study to complete. These are often considered terminal degrees, and graduates usually receive the advanced training necessary to enter or advance in a chosen profession.
March 9-12, 2017, is the Chemical Engineering Graduate Research Symposium, or Visit Weekend. If you are seriously considering Stanford's Chemical Engineering's PhD program for your doctoral work, please reserve these dates for your Stanford visit, as we will be unable to accommodate a request to visit at another time. How long does it take to get the PhD degree? The average time to earn a PhD degree is between 4-1/2 and 5-1/2 years. Some students finish a little earlier and some a bit later. If I have a master's degree from another university, do I need to get a MS from Stanford before pursuing a PhD? No.
