No one will agree with you because you just like your own definitions better than the ones everyone else is using and agrees upon. I'm sure everyone would be glad to switch to your definitions if they made any sense, but they don't. Wherever you might stand upon the surface of this Earth, you are standing atop a geological column. No location is an exception, and the specifics of the strata underlying any location matter not. Sediment can add to any local geologic column anywhere, regardless whether that column includes deformed or eroded stata.
Then the whole idea of the Geologic Time Scale, which was built on the idea of a vertical stack of horizontal layers that are found here and there in various proportions, is false. If you don't have an ascending vertical structure, a column, you do not have a time scale represented by the rocks, which could only be physically represented by such an ascending vertical structure. I think you are all mad as hatters.

I'll have to look it up but the layers aren't everywhere on the earth.

The strata are sedimentary rock. Lava doesn't form strata.

Yes, I know it incorporates strata from around the world in a mental construct, I've said as much myself, but that construct IS vertical and is based on vertical segments of strata, it isn't just relocated wherever, it is BUILT UP using these segments.

NON FLAT AND NON HORIZONTAL surfaces form AFTER all the strata are in place. They don't "go away," they are just ORIGINALLY not in any form other than flat and horizontal.
As I said I can't tell if the blue line is flat and horizontal or not because of the angle of view, but it doesn't matter, it was clearly originally flat and horizontal, and if it isn't now that is because the whole formation has sagged, which fits what I keep saying: THE STRATA ARE LAID DOWN AND THEN THE WHOLE STACK IS DEFORMED. I still don't know what to make of your other illustration. Whatever it is, it had to have been laid down flat and horizontal originally. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

It doesn't form strata IN THE GEOLOGIC COLUMN which is made up of sedimentary rock.

No, that is not the Geologic Column. Sheesh.

There may be lava dikes and sills between the layers but they aren't the layers themselves.

I need to know more about that picture before I label it anything. What am I looking at here, the exposed side of a hill or what? But those sagging layers had to originally be horizontal and flat. The straight flat uppermost layer needs explanation. When did that deposit?

If you can show where igneous rocks have formed within the column just as flat and horizontal as the sedimentary rocks I'll rethink it. Otherwise you are wrong. The Geologic Column is a vertical stack of horizontal sedimentary rocks, made up of many segments found in many places, fine, but it's still a vertical stack of horizontal flat rocks.

But an upright and vertical column is not necessarily comprised of flat and horizontal layers. That seismic picture I posted is part of the geologic column and yet the most of the layers aren't flat and horizontal. If it is part of the Geo Column then they were originally flat and horizontal. The Column has been distorted in most places after it was laid down.

I was talking about the photograph, what are you talking about?

But that is not at all clear just from the picture when the flat layers were laid down. There's something odd about that picture. Where is it and what is it?
