Is the top layer of rock the youngest layer?
According to the Law of Superposition, in a depositional sequence of undisturbed rock layers, the top layer of rock is the most recent to form from the processes of lithification or eruption of lava onto the surface, and are therefore the youngest rock layers.
Why is the youngest rock at the top?
because the water drops from the top
