Principle of original horizontality
From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
When a stratum is formed the lower surface and the surfaces of its sides corresponded with the surfaces of the adjacent bodies. The upper surface was parallel to the horizon, as far as that is possible. With the exception of the lowest stratum all the strata were contained in two parallel planes to the horizon and were at one time parallel to the horizon.
The problem here is that strata in ocean deposits are not always horizontal and rates of sedimentation are not uniform on a global scale. This is shown to be the case by both seismic records and sub-marine coring.
