Answer:

With the increase in depth, age of layer increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the law of superposition, the layer of the Earth that is present in the deep is considered as the oldest layer while on the other hand, those layer which is present on the top of all layers is considered as youngest layer of earth. When we move from the top layer towards the bottom layer, the age of layer increases or in other words, when we move upward the age of the layer decreases so label the layers of earth on the basis of this phenomenon.
