Question

If you come across sedimentary rock layers that are not horizontal (flat), you can assume those layers have been folded or tilted because sedimentary rocks form in horizontal layers. Group of answer choices Principle of Original Horizontality Principle of Superposition Principle of Original Lateral Continuity Principle of Cross-Cutting Relationships Principle of Inclusions

Answer 1

Principle of Original Horizontality

Step-by-step explanation:

• Sedimentary rocks are deposited originally horizontally under the impact of gravity. The principle of original horizontality states that layers of sedimentary rocks are under the action of gravity and are important to the analysis of the folded stilted strata. These sediments are deposited in existing surfaces.
