Re: sedimentation on slope
It is absurd to think any strata ever formed on a slope. Even if it's possible. Absurd.
Wow.

Re: sedimentation on slope
The strata everywhere were clearly originally laid down horizontally.

Clearly, Faith says. I suppose that ends the discussion.
This is exhibit A illustrating why you should never be taken seriously. If I had to point to one or two sentences that point to why it is silly to discuss anything with you, I could pick them out of this exchange.

Re: sedimentation on slope
The idea that any of the worldwide strata formed in any way other than horizontally is so utterly brand new and utterly bizarre I'm sure I've been transported into the twilight zone.

What world wide strata are you talking about anyway?

No one has claimed that "worldwide strata formed in any way other than horizontally." What has been claimed is that layers in images like those below were deposited as shown and need not be bent by tectonic forces. The sediment, where it deposits against a slope, would deviate from horizontal. That's the claim. Nothing about "worldwide strata."
The experiment you were going to run doesn't need to involve "worldwide strata" it only needs to address the interface between the layer and the topography of the surface it is being deposited on.
But I see you have already rejected the outcome as irrelevant regardless of the results.

Whoever calls me ignorant shares my own opinion. Sorrowfully and tacitly I recognize my ignorance, when I consider how much I lack of what my mind in its craving for knowledge is sighing for... I console myself with the consideration that this belongs to our common nature. - Francesco Petrarca

Ignorance is a most formidable opponent rivaled only by arrogance; but when the two join forces, one is all but invincible.

What worldwide strata are you talking about, Faith? I haven't heard of any of those ever.

Re: sedimentation on slope
Oh fine, nitpickers. So it is only worldwide in the northern hemisphere and not continuous even there. So what, they do pretty much wrap around the globe. You know, those layers on which the Geologic Time Scale was built.

The geological time scale was not built on strata or "layers" or anything like that.
It's not nitpicking. It's stating facts.

Nope. It isn't. It's not even "worldwide" in the northern hemisphere. You should stop reading those creationists websites. They always tell untruths about everything.

Nope. It wasn't. The geological time scale was not built around "layers of rocks". Do you even have a basic idea what the geological time scale is?

Re: sedimentation on slope
Really, Faith? How so?
The geological time scale doesn't represent strata or layers or anything like that.
It represents time periods. That's a bit hard for you to understand, I guess.
