Question
step 16 in figure above is a _________. green layer fold brown layer white (very light blue) layer angular unconformity white layer with the v shape inside blue layer disconformity light blue layer
A disconformity is a type of unconformity where sedimentary layers are parallel to each other but there is a gap in the geological record. In the context of geological layers, if we assume the characteristics of the layer at step 16 match the definition of a disconformity (parallel layers with a time gap), then this is the correct identification.
