A theory is a system of rules and principles that can be applied to a wide variety of circumstances and has been successfully tested, but that is not universally accepted.

The intent of THEORY is a reasonable or scientifically satisfactory known principle or body of principles proposed to explain phenomena. The word often denotes an untested hunch or a guess without backing proof. But for scientists, a theory has closely the opposite meaning. A theory is a well-substantiated description of a facet of the real world that can incorporate rules, hypotheses, and facts.

The theory is a belief to clarify something, or a set of directing principles. Einstein's views about relativity are an example of the theory of relativity.

why coastal regions, near large bodies of water like the ocean, have much milder annual temperatures than inland regions.
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:     Coastal areas will generally have more moderate temperatures than inland areas because of the heat capacity of the ocean.

Explanation:     Water has a higher heat capacity than soil and rock, so the ocean takes much longer to heat and to cool than the land. Coastal areas will generally have more moderate temperatures than inland areas because of the heat capacity of the ocean.

If a flat lying sedimentary rock layer ends abruptly, which principle tells that it has likely been deformed
Furkat [3]

The principle that tells that the flat lying sedimentary rock layer, which ends abruptly, has likely been deformed is Original horizontality principle. Option D.

<h3>What are the stratigraphic principles?</h3>

  • Superposition principle

Sedimentary rocks have been chronologically accumulating for years, reflecting the geological formation known as superposition.

According to this sedimentary deposition, we can distinguish the older rocks located in the deepest areas from the younger rocks in more superficial layers.

  • Lateral continuity principle

When talking about lateral continuity, we refer to different strata -sedimental layers- horizontally deposited that have a limited continuity.

This is, when looking laterally, each layer is not infinite. They tend to smoothly end.

These layers get thinner as they get farther from the source until they disappear.

When looking at plane rocky strata, we can notice they have not suffered from any perturbation and keep the original horizontality.

As they disappear, they tend to

• Mint

• Harrow

• Interdigitate

• be truncated

  • Original horizontality principle

This principle refers to the fact that strata extend originally in all horizontal directions. Sedimental layers are horizontally deposited.

However, it may occur that the currently observed strata arrangement is not the same as it used to be.

This is due to tectonic changes that have modified the original positions. Thus, layers can appear

  • folded,
  • slanted, or
  • inverted⇒ leaving  the most ancient layers in the upper positions.

The principle that tells that the flat lying sedimentary rock layer, which ends abruptly, has likely been deformed is Original horizontality principle. Option D.
