Adaptive melanism describes selection for darker pigmentation.

Explanation:

Hereditary changes in melanin production cause the darkening in color of populations of animals as a survival strategy that makes them less conspicuous to predators.

For example the rock pocket mouse has a sandy dorsal pelage and white underbelly, and it inhabits light-colored rocks. In other regions these mice are found on lava flows where they are typically melanic, with dark-colored dorsal hairs and white underbellies. This darker coloration provides protection from avian and mammalian predators.

nonconformity

answer: the unkar group shows angular unconformity because the layers are turned at angle.

unconformity

answer: specifically the angular unconformity occurs between the cambrian and precambrian rocks. the dox sandstone, shinumo quartzite, hakatar shale, and bass limestone have been filled. an angular unconformity occurs between the cambrian and precambrian rocks. the dox sandstone, shinumo quartzite, hakatar shale, and bass limestone have been filled.

disconformity

answer: the disconformities aremarked irregular lines between the sedimentaryrocks layers.
