principle of superposition
The layer of rock at the bottom of a sedimentary rock is older. This is due to the principle of superposition, which states that in an undisturbed sequence of rock layers, the oldest rocks are at the bottom and the youngest are at the top.
The concept you are referring to is called the principle of superposition in geology. It states that in an undisturbed sequence of rock layers, the youngest rocks are at the top and the oldest are at the bottom.
The law that suggests that older rock strata are at the bottom and younger rock strata are at the top is the law of superposition. This principle states that in an undisturbed sequence of sedimentary rocks, the oldest rocks will be at the bottom and the youngest at the top due to the natural layering process over time.
The principle of superposition states that in undisturbed sedimentary rock layers, the youngest layers will be on top and the oldest layers will be at the bottom. This principle forms the basis of relative dating in geology.
Layers at the bottom are the oldest.
To me generally I think it's Principle of Superposition : )
yes.

The bottom is oldest. The top is newest. -From bottom to top is the equivalent of oldest to youngest in an undisturbed sequence.

When you look at a rock that has undisturbed layers, the bottom layers are older and the upper layers are younger. Anytime a rock layer crosses another (ie. an intrusion), the crossing layer is younger.

the principle of superposition, which states that in an undisturbed sequence of rock layers, the youngest layer is on top and the oldest is on the bottom. This principle helps geologists determine the relative ages of rock layers based on their position in a stratigraphic sequence.
The undisturbed rock layers are horizontal and in order of age from youngest nearest the surface to oldest at the bottom of the rock unit.
