Rocks are looked at by the shape to see how old they are And the youngest rock is at the top where it forms

The youngest part of a rock is always on the top as the oldest is on the bottom.

Scientists look at the color and the form of rocks to also determine how old a rock is

Studying rocks are boring so I don’t really find them interesting
