True
Tilted strata lie below the unconformity; bedding in younger strata above is parallel to the unconformity.
Tilted strata lie below the unconformity; bedding in younger strata above is parallel to the unconformity.
A surface between successive strata representing a missing interval in the geologic record of time, and produced either by an interruption in deposition or by the erosion of depositionally continuous strata followed by renewed deposition.
An inhumed erosional surface that splits two strata of dissimilar ages or two rock masses is called unconformity. Generally, the older layer was exposed to erosion for a period of time before depositing the younger layer.
unconformity (plural unconformities)(nonstandard) A lack of conformity.(geology) A gap in time in rock strata, where erosion occurs while deposition slows or stops.

Tilted strata lie below the unconformity; bedding in younger strata above is parallel to the unconformity.
An unconformity is defined as a buried erosional or non-depositional surface separating two rock masses or strata of different ages, indicating that sediment deposition was not continuous. The different types of unconformities include disconformity, nonconformity, angular unconformity, paraconformity, buttress unconformity, blended unconformity, and biconformity.
An angular unconformity, which is what I think you mean, is not a rock type. It denotes the junction of two strata of rocks where the lower one was tilted by tectonic forces, eroded, then overlain with horizontal parallel strata.

Type your answer an unconformity indicates where a layer is missing in the strata sequence, so it tells you that there is a missing rock layerhere...
angular unconformity
Want of conformity; incongruity; inconsistency., Want of parallelism between strata in contact.
An inhumed erosional surface that splits two strata of dissimilar ages or two rock masses is called unconformity. Generally, the older layer was exposed to erosion for a period of time before depositing the younger layer.
