How is a river marked on a block diagram?

Not sure what you mean, but...arrows point in direction of flow, bold lines for boundaries, and often colored blue...?

I should have gone into more detain in that question, between strata in a block diagram, rivers are marked with a "V" shape. You were right on that, so I'll give it to you.

All right!

List the three types of unconformities and define them.

angular unconformity, non conformity and disconformity don't feel like describing them but there are more than just these three...fyi

Yes, there's also paraconformity in which there is a gap in the geologic timescale, but the strata is still completely parallel.

When laminated layers of rock all fold relative to each other. AKA chevron folds.
