Question

younger layers of rock sit atop older layers
image of rock layers labeled a (oldest) to e (youngest)
select
select
superposition
rock layering theory
supercontinent
pangea
states that older layers of rock are toward the
form, while newer layers are near the top.

Explanation:

The described principle, where older rock layers are found deeper (toward the bottom of a formation) and younger layers are near the top, is a foundational geological law called the Law of Superposition. The other options do not match: rock layering theory is not the standard term, supercontinent and Pangea refer to ancient landmasses, not rock layer age ordering.

Answer:

Superposition
