Unconformity

A geological formation is the basic or formal mappable body of rock with similar physical characteristics that sufficiently differentiates it from adjacent rock layers and

Unconformity in geology or Earth Science refers to a buried erosional and/or non-deposition surface separating lower older rock mass/strata and the younger upper one with

An angular unconformity occurs when rock beds above and below the unconformity lie at an angle. The younger rock beds lie flat on tilted, folded,

Nonconformity is unconformity where younger sedimentary rock beds overlie older intrusive igneous or metamorphic rocks. It is a contact plane created when younger sediments cover

A disconformity is a buried erosional or non-deposition surface or boundary between parallel rock layers of different ages. It has visible, uneven erosional surfaces and

Paraconformity in geology refers to a type of unconformity where the upper young and old lower rock layers or masses have the same orientation, i.e.,
