Okay here are the definitions:
lateral continuity-layers of sediment initially extend laterally in all directions; in other words, they are laterally continuous. As a result, rocks that are otherwise similar, but are now separated by a valley or other erosional feature, can be assumed to be originally continuous.

actualism-a position on the ontological status of possible worlds that holds that everything that exists (i.e., everything there is) is actual.

Superposition-a principle of quantum theory that describes a challenging concept about the nature and behavior of matter and forces at the sub-atomic level.


uniformitarianism-the theory that changes in the earth's crust during geological history have resulted from the action of continuous and uniform processes.
