Brief Explanations
A nonconformity is a type of unconformity where sedimentary rocks overlie igneous or metamorphic rocks. In the diagram, step 9 shows sedimentary layers (above) resting on igneous/metamorphic rocks (with the "Vs" which are often used to denote igneous rock patterns in such diagrams), which fits the definition of a nonconformity.
