The youngest layer of sedimentary rock is typically found at the top of a sedimentary rock sequence, as it is the most recently deposited layer. This layer is usually exposed on the Earth's surface, such as in river valleys or coastal areas, where erosion may have removed older layers above it.
The layer of solid rock found under the soil is called bedrock. Bedrock is composed of consolidated rock that forms the base of the Earth's crust and provides a strong foundation for the layers above it.
To determine whether the fault is older or younger than rock layer A, we can use the principle of cross-cutting relationships. If the fault cuts through rock layer A, it is younger than that layer, as it must have formed after the rock was deposited. Conversely, if rock layer A is found to be disrupted by the fault, then the fault is older. Therefore, examining the relationship between the fault and rock layer A is key to establishing their relative ages.

older than the rock layer above it and can provide information about the time period in which it lived and the environmental conditions at that time. This helps scientists estimate the age of the rock layers and understand the history of the area where the fossil was found.

Limestone is created in small warm still waters where shells and other sediments create layer which in time turn into Limestone.

Fossils are not found in the soil. They are found in layers of rock after time.
The layer of solid rock found under all soil is known as bedrock. It serves as a foundational layer that underlies all soil and provides stability and structure to the Earth's surface.
