Asked by Anon

Which geologic principle states that if rock strata are found folded or faulted, the folding or faulting occurred after they were deposited?


faunal succession

uniformitarianism

original horizontality

cross-cutting relationships



Uniformitarianism does not sound right at all for this, and neither does faunal succession, so I'm stuck between original horizontality and cross-cutting relationships.

It seems to be asking about the original state.

The answer is original horizontality. I found it on Quizlet.
