When looking at a geological timescale, typically ‘the deeper you dig, the older stuff gets’, right?
So, where does this buildup of new sediment come from?

From erosion, which is why river valleys and deltas have traditionally some of the best farming. Also from bio matter breaking down from plants and animals.
