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.
