Older than the one above it (my answer)
Older than the one below it
Thicker than the one above it

Respuesta :

Your answer is definitely correct. The correct answer that would best complete the given description above is the second option. So in general,  the law of superposition states that in an undeformed sequence of sedimentary rocks, each layer is older than the one above it. Hope this answers your question.

Older than the one above it  

Further Explanation:

The Law of Superposition forms one of the bases of the science of geology as well as other fields that deal with the geological stratigraphy. The law of superposition states that in Stratigraphic sequences which re still unperformed, the oldest strata will be there at the bottom of the sequence.  On the other hand, Stratification is the use of excavation is a little different as the process involved in laying down archaeological strata as they are some way or the other different from the geological processes.  

Many of the times, the archaeological strata, if we talk about its context in layers is created by cutting down the strata which was present previously. One of the examples which prove this phenomenon would be the silt back-fill of a drain which is underground.
