Answer: This is true

Explanation: According to Socratic, it says "downstream to the riverbed. However, the most common mechanism to produce older rocks on top of younger is by thrust faulting. Thrust faults form where rocks are being compressed, usually by plate tectonic mechanisms. Thrust faults rip up older strata and pile it on top of younger rocks."

Hope this helps!
