Question

multiple-choice question
the principle of superposition states that:
the youngest layers of rock will be on the top
the oldest layers of rock will be on the top

Explanation:

The principle of superposition in geology (a subfield of Natural Science, specifically related to Earth Science/Geology) states that in undisturbed sedimentary rock layers, the oldest layers are at the bottom and the youngest are at the top because new layers are deposited on top of older ones over time. So the correct statement is "The youngest layers of rock will be on the top".

Answer:

The youngest layers of rock will be on the top
