Which of the following best characterizes an angular unconformity
A horizontal lava flows lie below the unconformity and horizontal, sedimentary strata lie above
B tilted strata lie below the unconformity; bedding in younger strata above is parallel to the unconformity
C the discordant boundary between older strata and an intrusive body of granite
D tilted strata lie below the unconformity with loose, unconsolidated soil above
The correct Answer Is B
B tilted strata lie below the unconformity; bedding in younger strata above is parallel to the unconformity
