  • vendingmachine commented on the word principle of original horizontality

    The Principle of Original Horizontality states that layers of sediment are originally deposited horizontally under the action of gravity.1 It is a relative dating technique. The principle is important to the analysis of folded and tilted strata. It was first proposed by the Danish geological pioneer Nicholas Steno (1638–1686).
