•Important in the interpretation of the Earth's history because it indicates the relative age of the rock layers and fossils. The law of original horizontality states that most sediments were originally laid down horizontally. However, many layered rocks are no longer horizontal.
•Where layers have been deformed, the record of past movements of the Earth's surface is preserved in the stratification, making possible the interpretation of geologic events and permitting such practical results as the location of mineral deposits, petroleum fields, and groundwater reservoirs.
