Answer:Q1. Young rocks are found on top, and old layer are found on the bottom.Q2. Layers of sedimentary rock. Fossil layers are fossils that formed in sedimentary rock. When, over a long time, layers and layers of sediments get deposited on top of each other, the weight of the top layers presses down on the bottom layers, forming them into rock called sedimentary rockExplanation:Sedimentary rocks are deposited one on top of another. Therefore, the youngest layers are found at the top, and the oldest layers are found at the bottom of the sequence.
