Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angular unconformity occurs when younger sedimentary rocks overlie an erosion surface on tilted or folded layers of older rocks. This type of unconformity shows a significant time gap between the two sets of strata and indicates that the older rocks were deformed and eroded before the younger rocks were deposited.
