You can tell the age of the layers. The bottom layer is the oldest and the top is the youngest. When the layers are disturbed they tend to get bent and messed up and you cannot tell the age

How does a geologist know that layers are undisturbed?
When a rock is disturbed, it usually contains one of the following abnormalities:SlantingBendingFoldingCrackingMetamorphismor Nonconformities.If a rock layer contains none of these, then geologists classify it as undisturbed.

How do we know if rock layers are undisturbed?
The rock layers will be easily visible.
How are the layers of rock if they are undisturbed?
The undisturbed rock layers are horizontal and in order of age from youngest nearest the surface to oldest at the bottom of the rock unit.
What is based on the idea that younger rock layers are deposited on top of older rock layers in undisturbed areas?
The answer is: Relative dating

That would depend on the meaning of 'undisturbed'.

Could you tell me something about realative ages of rocks for a project please?
When you look at a rock that has undisturbed layers, the bottom layers are older and the upper layers are younger. Anytime a rock layer crosses another (ie. an intrusion), the crossing layer is younger.
