Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Bedrock is the hard, solid rock beneath surface materials such as soil and gravel. ... Bedrock also underlies sand and other sediments on the ocean floor. Bedrock is consolidated rock, meaning it is solid and tightly bound. Overlying material is often unconsolidated rock, which is made up of loose particles.

Regolith is a blanket of unconsolidated, loose, heterogeneous superficial deposits covering solid rock.
