Answer:

Law of cross-cutting relationships

Step-by-step explanation:

This interpretation is based on the law of cross - cutting relationships.

This law states that "faults and fractures that cuts through a rock are younger than the rocks they cut through".

  • In a sequence of strata, the strata that are not cut through by these features are younger than the cross -cutting features.
  • The igneous intrusion is younger since it cuts through the rock layers.
