Rock layers are formed on the surface over the period of time. Many geologists have stated different principles and explained the concept of layering of rocks.

This is also explained in principle of superposition given by steno.

Principle of superposition

  • It is one of the  major principle of geography.
  • Oldest layer is considered as the base.
  • Layers formed after the oldest layer in ascending order are younger than the previous layer.

Therefore we can conclude that the idea that younger rock layers are deposited on top of older rock layers in an undisturbed section of sedimentary rock can best be explained by principle of superposition given by steno.
