Steno proposed that if a rock contained the fossils of marine animals, the rock formed from sediments that were deposited on the seafloor. ... (c) Superposition: Sedimentary rocks are deposited one on top of another. The youngest layers are found at the top of the sequence, and the oldest layers are found at the bottom

Answer:

Q1. Young rocks are found on top, and old layer are found on the bottom.

Q2. Layers of sedimentary rock. Fossil layers are fossils that formed in sedimentary rock. When, over a long time, layers and layers of sediments get deposited on top of each other, the weight of the top layers presses down on the bottom layers, forming them into rock called sedimentary rock

Step-by-step explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are deposited one on top of another. Therefore, the youngest layers are found at the top, and the oldest layers are found at the bottom of the sequence.
