Law Of Superposition

The oldest rock layers are at the bottom and youngest are at the top
Real World Example
Imagine you're organizing a stack of clean laundry on a shelf, with the most recently washed clothes going on top. This approach is similar to how sedimentary rock layers form over time, where the oldest layers are at the bottom and the newest layers accumulate on top. Just as you add freshly laundered clothes to the top of the stack, nature deposits new sediment layers over the older ones, illustrating the law of superposition in geology.
