Question

Outcrop is seen on land everywhere on earth.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was asked in a job interview.

This interesting question is from Rocks Basic Terms topic in section Structural Features of Rocks of Engineering Geology

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) False

For explanation I would say: Solid rocks are not exposed everywhere on the surface of the earth. These are mostly covered with a thick or thin layer of loose deposit called alluvium or in most common language as soil. Hence rock or the outcrop is not seen everywhere on earth.
