define and compare the relationship between the following principles. provide a supporting example for each
comparison

• original horizontality

• original lateral extension

•cross-cutting relationships

•inclusion

•uniformities

These 5 principles can be better understood from the past events as well as from formation of the sedimentary rocks

Explanation:

Principle of original horizontal- the sedimentary rocks are found to be horizontal during the initial deposits phase. If  tilted this is due to the subsequent geological event.

Principle of original lateral continuity- The sedimentary beds are originally laterally continuous into their environment of deposition. Faulting in the severe folding and also erosion may leads to the separation of the originally lateral continuous beds which in later becomes separate units.

Principle of cross cutting- The younger features can get cuts across the older features. That's why faults,  erosion, volcanoes etc can be seen. The above mentioned are younger than those materials that is faulted intruded, or eroded.

Principle of inclusion- Inclusion itself means (a rock fragment another rock fragment) they must be older than the materials in.

Principle of uniformity-  Those are the physical process that are been seen today, were also worked in the same way in the geologic past, thus modern methods helps us to understand the ancient events.
