Answer:

The law of original horizontality explains that the deposition of sediment layer is horizontal under the gravity action.

Explanation:

The law of original horizontality was given by  Nicholas Steno. This law states that the sediment layer is deposited horizontally under the influence of the action of gravity.

The law of original horizontality is important to understand the movement of tectonic plates of the earth. The folded and tilted strata has been caused by some movement and collision of earth's plate.

Thus, horizontal deposition of sediment layer has been explained by the "law of original horizontality".

Antidepressant medication tends to increase the concentration of "_____" in the brain.
lbvjy [14]

Antidepressant medication tends to increase the concentration of central serotonin in the brain.

Antidepressants medications are drugs that are used to relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety disorders and other conditions. The concentration of central serotonin (a neurochemical) in the brain is increased to a dangerous level when antidepressant medications such as serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) is used together with another antidepressant that also influences serotonin levels in the brain.
