Answer to Question 1

An angular unconformity involves not only uplift resulting in erosion, but also the tilting of originally
horizontal strata. Such tilting does not occur in the production of a disconformity.



Answer to Question 2

Inclusions or fragments of one rock contained within a layer of another are older than the rock layer
itself.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
