Snowball Earth was what formed the Great Unconformity.

雪形成了大不整合。

In 1882, Dutton named this particular break “The Great Unconformity.”

1882 年，达顿将这一特殊突破命名为 “大不整合”。

Here, as in the Grand Canyon, the Great Unconformity is plain to see.

在这里，就像在大峡谷中一样，大不 整合面一目了然。

Hopefully, future research will tell us which came first: The Snowball or the Unconformity.

希望来的研究会告诉我们哪个 先出现：雪或不整合。

Such places are valuable because in most parts of the world there is a gap, known as an unconformity, between the Ediacaran and the Cambrian.

这些方都很有价值，世界的大部分区，埃迪卡拉和之间都有空白，这种空白被称为不整合面。

Unconformities are places where rocks have been eroded before new ones are deposited, and the widespread Ediacaran-Cambrian unconformity has been a big obstacle to understanding the Cambrian explosion.

不整合面方的石块在新的沉积之前已经被侵蚀，埃迪卡拉-之间广泛的不整合面是了解大爆发的一个重大障碍。
