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.
