What has to happen before a rock layer can be deposited?
The Rock Layer has to harden first of all before it can be deposited.

The color (or layer) on the bottom of the vial was deposited by you very first and the layer on top was last to be deposited.
When forming a sedimentary rock the layer that is deposited first is the?
soil

When you observe an outcrop of steeply inclined sedimentary layers what principle allows you to assume that the beds became tilted after they were deposited?
Principle of cross-cutting relationships. by applying the cross-cutting principle, you can see that fault A occurred after the sandstone layer was deposited because it "broke" the layer..

How does coal gets between layers of shale?
