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.

Answer:

Hi,

The correct answer option is a. deep sea corals

Explanation:

Deep sea corals are organism that habit the deeper and dark parts of the ocean and survive by feeding on tiny organisms washed by currents to obtain nutrients and energy.A major characteristics of these organisms is that they grow very slowly. Fishing practices such as dragging the sea floor with heavy fishing equipment and machines can destroy the homes of these organisms (coral gardens) thus affecting even the other organisms that live among them.
