Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

With a few notable exceptions, sediment at the bottom of a layer was deposited before sediment at the top. Where rock strata (layers) remain in their original horizontal position, the bottom layer had to be deposited before the top layer. Therefore, the top layer is the youngest, and the bottom layer is the oldest.
