Answer: Horizontality

Step-by-step explanation:

The Steno's principle of horizontality suggests that the layers of the sediments are originally deposited on the surface of earth horizontally or flat under the influence of gravity. It is method of ralative aging of rocks and fossils that deposit horizontally on the surface of earth. This principle is important for the analysis of tilted and folded strata.
