Question

what is the difference between bed rock and parent rock​

Answer 1

Answer↓

Bedrock is the hard, solid rock beneath surface materials such as soil and gravel. Bedrock can be made of most types of rock, such as granite, limestone, or like this piece of bedrock, sandstone. Bedrock is the hard, solid rock beneath surface materials such as soil and gravel.

Parent rock, also referred to as substratum, refers to the original rock from which something else was formed. It is mainly used in the context of soil formation where the parent rock (or parent material) normally has a large influence on the nature of the resulting soil.

Answer 2

Bedrock and parent rock are different from each other.

• The parent rock is actually the original rock that is responsible for forming something else. In the context of soil formation, parent rock influences the nature of the resulting soil.

• Bedrock is basically a deposit of solid rock. It is buried under the soil and other broken material. It contains a sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic rock.
