Rock layers occur due to sedimentation.

Sedimentation is the process whereby rock particles are carried by erosion and deposited in lower areas.

As sedimentation takes place over the years rock layers are formed.

The oldest layers are the layers at the bottom.

This is because they are deposited the first.
