The principle of superposition states that a rock layer on top of another is younger than the one beneath it. Geologists use the principle of superposition to determine the relative ages of rock layers.

The principle is called superposition, and applies to bodies of rock which have not been disturbed by the forces of nature which could reposition or overturn them.
