The specification says:

In a block formatting context, boxes are laid out one after the other, vertically, beginning at the top of a containing block. The vertical distance between two sibling boxes is determined by the [margin](https://drafts.csswg.org/css2/#propdef-margin) properties. Vertical margins between adjacent block-level boxes in a block formatting context [collapse](https://drafts.csswg.org/css2/#collapsing-margins).
