In observing rock layers I am usually found on the bottom What are you?
Old rocks! New or young rocks are at the top!
How do you determine the order of rock layers?
The chronological order of rock layers is usually determined by their order in an undisturbed sequence of strata. According to the principle of superposition, the oldest layers would be found at the bottom and the youngest layers at the top. In disturbed rock layers (those that have been folded, uplifted, or generally disrupted by tectonic forces), the determination must be made based on the presence of index fossils, comparison to undisturbed strata or radiometric dating.

Why are sediments usually found in layers?
because they are sedimentary rock
What rocks are usually found with layers?
Sedimentary rock. It forms when layers of sediment pile up.

Seasonal, cyclical, or other event based depositions of sediment are called strata.
