law of cross-cutting relationships

Answer 1

Four laws or principles are involved with the study of stratigraphy. They are law of original horizontality, law of superposition, law of original lateral continuity, and law of cross-cutting relationships

Answer 2

The stratigraphy is the study of the different strata, on the basis of their order and the relative positions. The Steno’s law of the stratigraphy helps in the determination of the pattern of the deposition of the rocks. Four law of the stratigraphy are as follows:

1. Law of original horizontality

2. Law of superposition

3. Law of original lateral continuity

4. Law of cross-cutting relationships
