Answer:

Angular unconformity represents the folding of an old sedimentary sequence, planing of the tilted strata by erosion, and the deposition of a young sedimentary sequence on the old truncated strata. ... Disconformity refers to an unconformity in which the beds above and below the surface are parallel.
