The laws of superposition and original horizontality are best applied to sedimentary rocks. These principles are fundamental to understanding the layered structures typical of sedimentary rock formations. The law of superposition states that in undeformed sedimentary rock layers, the oldest layers are at the bottom, and the youngest are at the top. The law of original horizontality states that sediments are originally deposited in horizontal layers.

metamorphic rocks
sedimentary rocks
all rock types
igneous rocks
