____________________ ____________________ is determining whether an object or event is older or younger than other objects or events . Two basic rules for relative rock sequencing ; . one , layers will form ____________________ on top of each other . This means the horizontal layers on top must be younger than the horizontal layers underneath it . This is called the law of ____________________ . Second , for an igneous intrusion to break through a layer , it had to have existed at the time of the fault line . If a fault line / intrusion cuts through a layer , the intrusion or fault line is ____________________ . This is called the law of ____________________ . Therefore , if rock layer A is horizontally on top of rock layer B than rock layer B is ____________________ . Furthermore , if an intrusion rock layer C cuts through both rock layer A and B then intrusion rock layer ____________________ is the youngest , rock layer ____________________ is the next youngest , and rock layer ____________________ is the oldest . Lastly , a fault line D is made and all the rock layers shift . This tells us fault line ____________________ is the youngest , intrusion rock layer ____________________ is the next youngest , followed by rock layer ____________________ , and rock layer ____________________ is the oldest .
