Answer:

The sand which makes up the "sandstone" found in "New York" state was originally deposited in "horizontal layers".

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The sandstones found in New York were majorly formed due to the deposition of sand by the water.
  • This deposition was obviously horizontal. The sand particles got glued together gradually because of the presence of traces of calcium carbonate, clay and silica.
  • The sandstone rocks found in "northern New York" are from the Ordovician age.
