Law of Lateral Continuity Bryce Canyon Rock Layers

The Bryce Canyon rock layers are a great example of the Law Lateral of Continuity. The Law of Lateral Continuity suggests that all rock layers are laterally continuous and may be broken up or displaced by later events. This can happen when a river or stream erodes a portion of the rock layers. This can also happen when faulting occurs. You can clearly see the same rock layers on opposite sides of the canyon. The matching rock layers were deposited at the same time, so they are the same age. Want to read more about the formation of Bryce Canyon? www.teacherspayteachers.com/P...
