Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposit of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water. The horizontal layering happens because it has forms with the passing of time over thousands if not millions of years.
Sedimentary rocks form three horizontal layers: strata, singular and stratum. The organisms that fall into the sedimentary rocks, will then be fossilized in each layer.
Cross-beds are horizontal units that are internally comprised of inclined layers. It is a sedimentary structure that forms during deposition on the inclined surfaces of bedforms.
Horizontal sedimentary rock layers.
Younger layers of sedimentary rock are deposited on older layers
No. It is not uncommon for the layers to be shifted out of a horizontal position.
horizontal bedding is sedimentary rock structure in which layers of rocks lies horizontally.
Rock strata can be formed in layers at the bottom of lakes.
The layers get burried

the law of superstition is the geologi principle that states that in horizontal layers of sedimentary rock.Each layer is older than the layer above it and younger than the layer below it
The largest grains will always be deposited first so they will be at the bottom of the beds because they could not form natrually any other way.

Reverse Grading.
The principle of superposition states that in an undisturbed sequence of rock layers, the youngest layer is on top and the oldest layer is at the bottom. The principle of original horizontality states that sedimentary rocks are originally deposited in horizontal layers. The principle of lateral continuity states that rock layers extend continuously in all directions until they thin out or reach a barrier. The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that any geological feature that cuts across a rock layer is younger than the layer it cuts through.
In geology, the law of superposition states that in any undisturbed sequence of rocks that are deposited in layers, the oldest layers are on the bottom. Each layer is younger than the layer below it.
