Summarize the key characteristics and formation of horizontally layered rocks and the landscapes they create.

Here's a summary of the information provided about topography associated with horizontally layered rocks: Horizontal Strata: These are layers of rock that are parallel to the Earth's surface*. The layers are separated by bedding planes*. Origin of Horizontal Strata: They originate from sediment deposited on the bottom of inland seas or flood plains* over millions of years, which then gets compressed into rock. They can also form from volcanic eruptions that create layers from successive lava flows*. Associated Landscapes: These landscapes form in areas where the horizontal strata have uniform resistance to erosion*. In hot and humid areas, a more rounded landscape forms due to sheet wash and chemical weathering*.
