Answer:

The law of superposition states that each rock layer is older than the one above it.

Step-by-step explanation:So, the relative age of the rock or fossil in the rock or fossil in the rock is older if it is farther down in the rock layers. Relative dating can be used only when the rock layers have been preserved in their original sequence.
