Answer:

Law of original lateral continuity

Explanation:

The law of original lateral continuity basically explains that sediments spread out laterally and continuously until the sediments run out or depending on the limits of the basin (in other words, what catches it). As it extends outwards the layer starts to thin out. This was proposed by Nicolas Steno, who also proposed the law of superposition and original horizontally.

Readme [11.4K]
When an individual's cortisol levels are low, such as in the case of people with Addison's disease, the hypothalamus region of the brain releases corticotrophin-releasing hormones. This causes the pituitary gland to also secrete another hormone called, adenocortocotropic hormone into the bloodstream. <span>When the adrenal glands detect these hormones, they secrete cortisol, causing blood levels of cortisol to rise.</span>
