Question

Define unconformity? also describe the types of unconformity.

Answer 1

Answer:

Three diffferent type of unconformity are

Disconfirmity, Nonconformity, Angular conformity

Explanation:

The point of conjoin between two rock is known as unconformity.  The unconformity in above rock is much younger than lower rock.

The three different types of unconformity are:-

Disconfirmity: In this,  the layers are parallel on both sides

Nonconformity: In this,  the igneous rocks are attached with sedimentary rocks

Angular conformity: In this,  the tilted rocks are mostly lying  below the flat  rocks

Answer 2

Answer: Unconformity is the procedure between two rocks having a contact. It is usually observed that upper unit of rock is younger in nature compared to the lower unit of rock.

Explanation: There are different types of unconformities such as:

• Disconformities- it is a uncoformity which has a parallel nature along with the rocks in the sedimentary form during the phase of erosion
• Non-conformities - it is a unconformity that creates the separation between the sedimentary rocks and other rocks like igneous rocks. They usually display the erosion that has occurred long time back.
• Angular unconformities-it is also a type of separation that is present between the younger rocks and the older rocks units.
