User: In you study rock strata, and in you study fossils.

User: Not only does sediment spread horizontality and from youngest (top) to oldest (bottom), it also continues to spread flat in all directions until it either runs out of material—pinches off—or hits a barrier. This is known as the _____. law of original horizontality law of superposition law of original lateral continuity law of gravity and oppositional force law of cross-cutting relationships

Weegy: law of gravity and oppositional force
