If a fault or intrusion cuts through an unconformity, the fault or intrusion is younger than all the rocks it cuts through above and below the unconformity.
If a fault or intrusion cuts through an unconformity, the fault or intrusion is younger than all the rocks it cuts through above and below the unconformity.
Apologies, but I do not know what unconformity you are referring to. However, I can tell you that conglomerate IS present as an unconformity in many cases due to the nature of it's formation. Conglomerate is often produced during a flash-flood, so all rock strata from the period appear interrupted by the unconformity of Conglomerate which was deposited very quickly, then after burial was cemented and lithified. My answer, therefore, is that conglomerate is common as an unconformity.
Recognition of unconformity can be presence of conglomeratic bed at the interface. It is fossils of wildly different ages which mark the variation of attitude.
Angular unconformity not diconformity for those of u who need help to the answers on ur science sheet

Magma that forces its way into rocks and hardens is called intrusion.
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.
Angular unconformity :D
angular unconformity
Tilted strata lie below the unconformity; bedding in younger strata above is parallel to the unconformity.
An unconformity leaves a gap in the geological record
An unconformity. There are three main types: angular unconformity, disconformity, and nonconformity.
Well...there are two definitions of unconformity... Unconformity: the stop in rock sequence indicating interruption of sedimentation, commonly accompanied by erosion of rocks below the break. Sentence: The scientist predicted that an unconformity occurred at the area, theorizing why it was smaller than the other volcanic and sedimentary rock sequences. Or... Unconformity: inconsistency, incongruity Sentence: The unconformity of the schedule threw off the secretary; her boss had always been so uptight about his agenda, so today was quite the change.
The unconformity shows all the other layers of rock that have formed underneath it
