Answer to Question 1

Sediment is deposited in essentially horizontal layers, so if a sequence of sedimentary rock layers is
inclined from the horizontal, it must have been tilted after deposition and lithification.



Answer to Question 2

Superposition, original horizontality, lateral continuity, cross-cutting relationships, inclusions, fossil
succession.
