Answer:

Younger

Step-by-step explanation:

Beneath the surface, magma may push into bodies of rock. There, the magma cools and hardens into a mass of igneous rock called an intrusion. An intrusion is always younger than the rock layers around and beneath it. ... A fault is always younger than the rock it cuts through.
