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.
When forming a sedimentary rock the layer that is deposited first is the?
soil
Which layer of rock formed from sediments deposited on land?

The top of a sedimentary layer was deposited before the bottom?
Incorrect. The bottom of a sedimentary layer was deposited before the top. Imagine pouring different colors of sand in a clear vial one layer at a time and alternating colors. 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.
What can you guess about the environment at the time an uncomformity was forming?
Sediments were not deposited in the location, erosion removing a layer of rock after it formed.

What is a sedimentary rock that is sometimes formed from sand deposits?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed from layer upon layer of deposited sand which undergoes lithification.
What layer is the youngest layer in the sedimentary rock?
The one closest to the surface because rock layers are laid down one on top of another.
What are two ways that a rock layer can cause a gap in geologic record?
When rock layers are eroded or when a sediment is not deposited for a long period of time.
How can you tell that the sandstone was not deposited on top of the basalt?
The sandstone layer is older than the basalt. The older rock cannot be on top of the younger rock. The sandstone and the basalt (or basalt dike) are both deposited at the same depth.

Can the principles of relative dating be used to determine the date a rock layer was deposited?
Yes, if you know the dates of deposit of the layers above and below.
