flood the land and make the sediment rise to the top of the water
Sedimentary rocks have flat layers.
In an undisturbed layer of rocks, the youngest rocks would be found at the top of the sequence. This is due to the principle of superposition, which states that in a series of sedimentary rock layers, older layers are deposited first and are subsequently covered by newer layers. Therefore, as you move upward through the layers, you encounter progressively younger rocks.
Detrital sedimentary layers.
Rocks that have stripes or layers are typically sedimentary rocks. These layers, known as strata, are formed by the accumulation of sediment over time, which can include particles from other rocks, minerals, and organic matter. Common examples of layered sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale. The distinct layers can reflect changes in environmental conditions, such as shifts in water levels or sediment supply.
Where rocks get either smoothed out or layers taken of by the weather.

Conglomerate rocks are sedimentary rocks; they settle at bottoms of the rivers, lakes, and oceans in deposited layers.
Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.
Sedimentary rocks are the type of rocks that are mostly arranged in layers. The way in which the layers are arranged is commonly called bedding.
Two layers of rocks (gaps in rocks filled with mortar) and earth in between the two layers of rocks.
Igneous rocks, such as granite and basalt, typically do not have layers because they form from the solidification of molten rock without the presence of bedding or foliation. These rocks cool and solidify quickly, preventing the development of distinct layers.
Sedimentary rocks. An example is sandstone.
Scientists study layers of rocks to learn about the earth and how it has changed. They know that if layers are undisturbed, the oldest rocks are on the bottom and the youngest rocks are on top. They know how old each layer is in relation to the other layers.

Fossils are found in sedimentary rock because it is layers of sand, rock, and sediments, and the bones fall between the layers where the form into fossil's.
