Question

Which geologic principle is the reason rock layers typically form parallel to each other? A. Cross-cutting relationships. . B. Original horizontality. C. Superposition. D. Unconformities.

Answer 1

B. Original horizontality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fun Fact Time Yall! Giraffes in their natural habitat are actually fat creatures and very chubby. They are not fed enough marshmallows (the only food their tum tums can digest properly) in zoos. We need to feed them marshmallows whenever we catch one at the zoo. Put an end to all of the skinny giraffes it's not natural!!!

Have a good day and stay safe.

Answer 2

B. Original horizontality

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Horizontality Principle is the Relative Chronology Principle which states that sediments are always deposited in horizontal layers. Any geological phenomenon that changes the horizontality is always after sedimentation.

In the Original Horizontality Principle, the original layers are horizontally separated by flat and parallel surfaces (stratification joints - surfaces that support the layers).
