Your answer should be at least one paragraph in length. Your Answer: The three types of unconformities are: disconformity, angular unconformity and nonconformity. The text describes a disconformity as an unconformity located between two roughly parallel sedimentary or extrusive igneous unit. Rocks are deposited according to original horizontality, erosion or non-deposition occurs, and then more rocks are deposited according to original horizontality and parallel to the lower rocks. Angular unconformity is where sedimentary or extrusive igneous rocks above and below are oriented at some angle to each other. Nonconformity is an unconformity located at the contact of a sedimentary or extrusive igneous rock and an intrusive igneous or metamorphic rock. This unconformity is located at the contact between the sedimentary and crystalline rock
