Why are my elements overlapping when screen is minimized?

I'm new to coding and joined TOP. Part of the process of learning to code is making a Google Homepage. It's difficult but I've progressed somewhat. My current issue is when I minimize my screen, I notice the elements overlap. I've played around with the code and it still happens.

.googlelogo {
  display: flex;
  padding: 7% 10% 10%;
  margin: 10% 40% 30%;
  justify-content: center;
}

.about {
  display: flex;
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 17%;
  height: 80%;
  margin-left: 1%;
}

.store {
  display: flex;
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 17%;
  height: 80%;
  margin-left: 6%
}

.gmail {
  display: flex;
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 17%;
  height: 80%;
  margin-left: 82%
}

.images {
  display: flex;
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 17%;
  height: 80%;
 margin-left: 87%
