<u>Answer:</u>
Non conformity is the type of unconformity separating the 2 rock strata.
<u>Explanation:</u>
There are 4 types of unconformities, among which the non conformity is the type of unconformity that separates two rock types while one among them is younger and the other is older. It usually exists between young sedimentary rocks and old igneous or metamorphic rocks. The non conformity refers to the old erosional feature on the underlying rock. It also suggests that, a long term uplift has taken place.

It keeps us from flying into outerspace.
As continential plate has a lower density, when the oceanic plate and continetial plate collide the denses oceanic plate will be subducted under the less dense continential plate.
As mentioned in the question, although continential plate is thicker, the continental crust undergoes heating and cooling cycles that lower it’s density, while the oceanic plate was thinner but denser.
Therefore when they collide, the denser plate will slide under the less dense plate due to the convection current of magma.
While features like the ocean trench and volcanoes will be formed due to subduction and the accumulation of continential crust.
Hope it helps!
