Correct! Here's a few more answers that might be acceptable, most of them connecting in a way to your answers.

[hide]Composition of rock (ex. halite vs granite), pressure, depth, etc.[/hide]

Care to share another question?

[b]disconformity:[/b] parallel layers of sedimentary rocks followed by erosion then more paralel deposit of sedimentary rocks.
[b]noncomformity:[/b] Metamorphic or igneous rocks deposit erodes at the surface and sedimentary rocks gets deposited. 
[b]Angular comformity: [/b] Sediments are uplifted and tilted then gets eroded then sedimentary are deposited.
[b] paraconformity: [/b] strata is paralel and no apparent erosion

What are the three main kinds of lava?
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.
