Nady [450]3 years ago

In a normal pile of sedimentary layers, the bottom layer would be oldest whereas the top would be the youngest.

Sedimentary rocks are formed when layers of sediment from the Earth are being deposited. That means that the bottom most layer would probably be also the first sediments that fell in the area, thus making the top layer the newest sediments.

What is settlers motivation for the Amazon rainforest
Damm [24]
Once had the highest deforestation rate in the world and in 2005 still had the largest area of forest removed annually.[1] Since 1970, over 700,000 square kilometers (270,000 sq mi) of the Amazon rainforest have been destroyed. In 2012, the Amazon was approximately 5.4 million square kilometres, which is only 87% of the Amazon's original state.[2]

Rainforests have decreased in size primarily due to deforestation. Despite reductions in the deforestation rate over the last ten years, the Amazon rainforest will be reduced by 40% by 2030 at the current rate.[3] Between May 2000 and August 2006, Brazil lost nearly 150,000 km2 of forest, an area larger than Greece. According to the Living Planet Report 2010, deforestation continues at an alarming rate. But at the CBD 9th Conference, 67 ministers signed up to help achieve zero net deforestation by 2020.
