   Principle of Lateral Continuity
   Sedimentary layers extend outward until they thin to nothing or encounter a barrier. This principle is crucial for correlation/), as a layer found in one outcrop can be assumed to continue laterally beneath the intervening, younger cover (see Lithostratigraphy).
