What is the difference between relative ages of and relative position of rocks?
Age is how old the rock is relative to other rocks, position is where the rock is in relation to other rocks. Tectonic motion and other forces can easily turn a portion of the Earths crust upside down resulting in older rock lying above younger layers.
How can the relative and absolute ages of rock be determined?
By comparing the relative percentages of a radioactive (parent) isotope and a stable (daughter) isotope.
How is sedimentary rocks like the rings in a tree?
Just as the rings in a tree get older as you count towards the centre of the trunk, so layers of sedimentary rock are older the further down a sequence you look.
