The principle of cross-cutting relationships is a relative dating method that was first developed by Nicholas Steno in 1669. The principle states that the geologic structure which cuts another is the younger of the two structures. There are many major types of cross cutting relationships which include; geomorphological relationships, intrusional relationships, sedimentological relationship, structural relationships, and paleontological relationships.
