Answer:

The principle of cross cutting relationships states that the one structure which interrupts or cuts the other structure, the one which interrupts is the younger structure and the one which is being interrupted is the older structure.

The principle involving an intrusive rock body younger than the rock into which it intrudes is principle of cross cutting.
