Why does sedimentary rock form in horizontal layers?
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.
What name is given to layers of tilted rocks that are overlain by younger more flat- lying rock layers?
