Tilted strata lie below the unconformity; bedding in younger strata above is parallel to the unconformity.

An angular unconformity is a type of unconformity where older layers of rock are tilted or folded before younger sedimentary layers are deposited on top. This results in a clear angular discordance between the two sets of rock layers, showing a gap in the geologic record.
