Answer 1

The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that certain features, such as faults, are **younger** than the rock layers they cut through. These features are breaks in Earth’s surface where rock has moved sideways, upward, or downward. **Igneous** formations are made of molten rock that has cooled. Those on Earth’s surface are called **extrusive igneous rocks**. Those beneath Earth’s surface are called **intrusive igneous rocks**.
