Which of these provides the most creative explanation for why sediments form horizontal and parallel layers? Law of Superposition Law of Unconformities Principle of Uniformitarianism Principle of Original Horizontality

Answer: Principle of Original Horizontality.

According to the principle of original horizontality all rock layers are horizontal in nature and this is specific to sedimentary rocks. The younger sediments remains in the top layers and older ones remains at the bottom. These sediments accumulate in horizontal and parallel layers and becomes compact to form rocks in the end.
