Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A disconformity is an unconformity between parallel layers of sedimentary rocks which represents a period of erosion or non-deposition. Disconformities are marked by features of subaerial erosion. This type of erosion can leave channels and paleosols in the rock record .
Detailed explanation-2: -An unconformity is a surface of non-deposition that separates younger strata from older rocks and indicates an interruption in the geological record.
Detailed explanation-3: -Disconformity: exists where the layers above and below an erosional boundary have the same orientation. Nonconformity: develops where sediments are deposited on top of an eroded surface of igneous or metamorphic rocks.
