  1. To arrange the rock layers from youngest to oldest, we typically use the principles of stratigraphy, such as the Law of Superposition, which states that in undisturbed layers of rock, the oldest rocks are at the bottom, and the youngest rocks are at the top.

    Assuming the order from top to bottom is A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, the arrangement from youngest to oldest would be:

    A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J

    This means layer A is the youngest, as it is on the top, and layer J is the oldest, as it is at the bottom.
