Answer 1

To answer your question accurately, I would need to see the figure you are referring to, as the type of geological feature underneath Layer H will determine whether it is an angular unconformity, nonconformity, disconformity, or some other feature.

However, I can provide brief descriptions of each type:

1. **Angular Unconformity**: Occurs when younger sedimentary layers are deposited on top of older, tilted, or folded layers.

2. **Nonconformity**: Formed when sedimentary rocks are deposited on top of igneous or metamorphic rocks.

3. **Disconformity**: Exists when there is a gap in the geological record between two layers of sedimentary rock that are otherwise parallel.

4. **Fault**: A break in the Earth’s crust along which movement has occurred.

If you have access to specific details about Layer H's deposition relative to other layers, I can help you determine the correct answer.
