Detailed explanation-1: -Sedimentary rocks are laid down horizontally with the oldest at the bottom. Sedimentary rocks that are not horizontal have been deformed. Sedimentary rocks are very useful for determining the deformation history of an area.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sedimentary rocks tend to form in horizontal layers because this is how the original sediments are deposited.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Law of Original Horizontality suggests that all rock layers are originally laid down (deposited) horizontally and can later be deformed.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sedimentary rocks typically occur in horizontal layers called strata. In undisturbed strata, younger layers sit on top of older ones. This is known as the law of superposition.
