| | Bedrock: outcrop, subcrop, and float (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30) |
 | | In some cases the bedrock is actually exposed, and is said to outcrop at the surface. |
 | | Outcropping bedrock is great stuff, because it allows geologist to determine the local geology, and helps them put together the geologic history of the earth. |
 | | Unfortunately, in many places the bedrock is covered by water, dirt, plants, pavement, buildings, or other coverings which obscure the area's bedrock. |
