From the bottom to top, the layers would be honey, with a density of 1.42g, then soy sauce with a density or 1.2g, and lastly olive oil with a density of .918g. The reason the three ingredients separate into layers is because their densities are all significantly different, making them unable to mix. The most dense layer is honey, which means it is the heaviest. This is why it is on the bottom. The olive oil is on top because it has the smallest density, making it have a smaller mass.
These are the links I used.
