Law of Original Horizontality
Strata is originally deposited in flat horizontal
layers because sedimentary particles settle from air and
water under the influence of gravity
![Page 8: Interpreting geologichistoryupdated2](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052600/557dbc05d8b42a8f188b4ca3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Law of Original Horizontality
If strata are ___________, then they must have suffered some kind of disturbance after they were deposited.
Grand Canyon
Western Iran
Steeply Inclined

THE LAW OF SUPERPOSITION:
THE LAW OF SUPERPOSITION:

strata must have been deposited __________ the layers above, unless the rock strata
