It is correct to say that the deeper in the ground we go, the older things get. This statement is specifically valid in a terrain that has not been disturbed by tectonic activities.
<em>According to the law of superposition of strata "in a sequence of sediment, the oldest layer is usually at the bottom and the youngest is on top provided the area is undisturbed". </em>
Based on this law of superposition of strata, it clearly seen that the deeper we go down in the earth, the older things get.
