Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order of steps involved in the formation of a nonconformity is:

1) Metamorphic and plutonic rocks form below the surface.
2) Erosion removes overlying rock.
3) Sedimentary rock is deposited on the eroded surface.

This results in a contact between two types of rocks: igneous or metamorphic rock below and sedimentary rock above. Choice B correctly arranges the steps in this order.
