<u>Answer:</u>

Principle of Superposition  causes the youngest layers to be on top.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Principle of Superposition states that when two or more waves having similar intensity and characteristics, intersect each other at the same point, some displacements occur as a result.
  • This displacement is equal to the sum of the displacements of both the waves.
  • The stratification of sedimentary rocks is based on the same principle. Thus, when two layers of soil come in contact, the younger soil layer deposit above the older one.
