Good morning! Hope you day is going well!

The correct answer is C- At the bottom.

Why?

Over time, younger rocks are deposited on top of older rocks. When you look at a cross section of undisturbed sedimentary rock layers, you find the oldest layers on the bottom and the youngest layers on top.

I hope this helps! Good day!

According to steno's principles of Superposition, where can the older layers of rocks be found at the bottom.

What is the principle of Superposition?

It determines that in a sedimentary series deposited horizontally and that it has not undergone any tectonic deformation, the oldest stratum is at the bottom and the most recent at the top.

  • The principle of superposition is an axiom and a basic principle of sedimentary stratigraphy.

  • In its simplest form it states that in undeformed stratigraphic sequences, the oldest field will be at the bottom of the sequence.

Therefore, we can conclude that the principle of superposition serves to establish with certainty the sequence, not the number of years that have elapsed since the formation of the sedimentary layers.
