Alluvial fan could be the answer. Alluvial fans are cone shaped deposits of sedimentary particles. The particles can be sand. silt, gravel or clay. These land-forms are formed at the mouth of canyons or in valleys where ephemeral streams can occasionally transport material to the mouth of the canyons. An ephemeral stream is one that is created after a shower of rain or other form of precipitation; they are not permanent streams. <span />
Rock layers in order is basically natures calendar.
The highest layer is the newest formed layer
While the deepest layer was the oldest and probably has been there from some time
And everything in between goes accordingly
So putting rocks in order by age helps scientists better understand what was there before what and how the rocks changed over time.
Hope this helps!

A map serves two purposes: It is a tool for storing reference material and a tool for communicat- ing geographic information. route between two places and to avoid getting lost along the way.
The statement that is not true is: A healthy ecosystem can support an unlimited number of life forms.
Any ecosystem has its limits. No matter is a healthy, in perfect shape, and very large ecosystem, there's always a limit as to how much life forms can the ecosystem support. If the number of life forms surpasses the ability of the ecosystem to support them, than the ecosystem will crash, be destroyed, and experience a lot of changes, with the death of lot of life forms involved in the process as well.
There isn't such thing as an ecosystem that has the ability to support an infinite number of life forms, there's only ecosystems that are able to support limited number of life forms.
