The principle of inclusions and components explains that, with sedimentary rocks, if inclusions (or clasts) are found in a formation, then the inclusions must be older than the formation that contains them.For example, in sedimentary rocks, it is common for gravel from an older formation to be ripped up and included in a newer layer.This is because it is not possible for a younger layer to slip beneath a layer previously deposited.The only disturbance that the layers experience is bioturbation, in which animals and/or plants move things in the layers.A fundamental principle of geology advanced by the 18th century Scottish physician and geologist James Hutton, is that "the present is the key to the past."
