the idea that sediments spread out in all directions until they either thin out or run into a barrier can be explained by which of steno's principles?

a - principle of superposition

b - principle of original horizontality

c - principle of original lateral continuity

d - principle of faunal succession

answer:

the correct answer is c.

explanation:

the principle of horizontality faunal that sedimentary rocks are deposited in approximately horizontal layers. the principle of original lateral continuity states that sediments spread out in all directions until they either thin out or run into a barrier.

that tool would be a compass
