Question

Which principle tells us that rock layers separated by a valley, but otherwise similar, are assumed to have once been continuous?

superposition


faunal succession


original horizontality


lateral continuity

Answer 1

The answer is A. superposition 

Answer 2

Lateral continuity.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this principle, rocks that are similar but separated by an erosional feature like a valley can be assumed to be originally continuous. This means that once the rocks were together and because of the erosion of the earth they get separated.
