Question

write a description of each of the following:1) principle of superposition. 2)pinciple of origin horizontality.3)principle of cross cutting relationships.4)principle of leteral continuity.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) principle of superposition: The superposition principle states that when two or more waves overlap in space, the resultant disturbance is equal to the algebraic sum of the individual disturbances. (This is sometimes violated for large disturbances

2) principle of origin horizontality:- According to the Principle of Original Horizontality, sediments are deposited horizontally. After they have been transformed into rock, strata may become tilted or folded by various tectonic movements. However, this principle basically states that "tilted or folded layers used to be flat”.

3) principle of cross cutting relationships: Cross-cutting relationships is a principle of geology that states that the geologic feature which cuts another is the younger of the two features. It is a relative dating technique in geology.

4) principle of leteral continuity: The principle of lateral continuity states that layers of sediment initially extend laterally in all directions; in other words, they are laterally continuous. As a result, rocks that are otherwise similar, but are now separated by a valley or other erosional feature, can be assumed to be originally continuous.
