Answer:

The law of superposition simply states that for non- deformed geologic strata, “sedimentary layers are deposited in a time sequence, with the oldest on the bottom and the youngest on the top”.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottom layer of rock forms first, which means it is oldest. Each layer above that is younger, and the top layer is youngest of all.
