Solution

The rock layers are typically listed in the order they were formed, from oldest to youngest, based on the principles of stratigraphy. Here’s a common representation of sedimentary rock layers:

  1. Basement Rock (Oldest)
  2. Sedimentary Strata (Older to Younger):
    • Shale
    • Sandstone
    • Limestone
    • Conglomerate
  3. Volcanic Rock (if present in geological history)
  4. Topsoil & Recent Deposits (Youngest)

The specific names of the layers can vary depending on the geographical location and geological history of the area in question.
