Horizontal layers of rocks are rock layers that are parallel to the Earth's surface. These layers are typically formed over time through sedimentary processes, such as deposition of sediment in water or air. The horizontal orientation of these layers indicates the original horizontal position in which they were deposited.
A disconformity exists between parallel layers of sedimentary rock. This is when there is a gap in the rock record represented by a horizontal surface separating younger strata from the older ones.
Surface features produced by crustal movements at a transform plate boundary include strike-slip faults and earthquakes. These are caused by the horizontal movement of two tectonic plates sliding past each other. This movement does not typically result in significant volcanic activity or the formation of mountains.
Sedimentary rocks are the type of rocks that can only form on or very near Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form from weathering processes that occur on Earth's surface.

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.

Metamorphic, Igneous, and Sedimentary. Sedimentary is produced by river sediments compacted into hard rock by years of pressure. Igneous rock is formed by lava cooling down when it reaches the surface. Metamorphic rock comes from Igneous, Sedimentary, or other Metamorphic rocks and is defined as rock that has been changed from some other rock, called a protolith, by years of heat and pressure beneath the Earth's surface.
Of all the rock on Earth's surface, 75% is sedimentary rock. But, sedimentary rock is only about 5% of the whole crust. Unlike igneous rock, which forms underground, sedimentary rock forms from materials at Earth's surface. Which this means that sedimentary rocks are more likely to be seen on the surface. Hope this helps :)
Sedimentary Rocks. 75% of rocks exposed to the surface are sedimentary.
Sedimentary rocks are the most common type of rocks found at Earth's surface. They are formed by the accumulation and cementation of sediments such as sand, mud, and organic material over time. Sedimentary rocks cover about 75% of the Earth's surface.
Perpendicular
A flat-topped hill formed by horizontal igneous intrusion is known as a "mesa." This geological feature occurs when magma intrudes into horizontal layers of sedimentary rock, solidifies, and later gets exposed through erosion, forming a flat summit. The surrounding softer rock erodes away more quickly, leaving the harder, more resistant igneous rock elevated and flat on top. Mesas are commonly found in arid regions and are characterized by steep sides and a relatively flat surface.
