Answer: According to the principle of cross-cutting relationships, an intrusive rock body is younger than the rocks into which it intrudes.


Explanation:

To understand this answer you need to know what cross-cutting relationship of rocks is. Lets take an example of the volcano surrounded with volcanic rocks. Whenever, Magma from volcanoes flows down, they intrudes into the spaces or cracks present between the already existing rocks. After some time, when this magma cools down it becomes a rock, but this rock remains within those already existing rocks. This also explains that the newly made rocks within the already existing rocks are younger than the later. This is what we call a cross-cutting relationship.

Why is oceanic crust subducted under continental crust? answers?
sattari [20]
When two tectonic plates push towards each other, one continental, and another oceanic, the oceanic plate is subducting under the continental plate. This is due to the fact that the oceanic plates's crust is weaker and has lesser density, while the continental is stronger and has bigger density, so when pushing against each other, the weaker, less dense, oceanic plate can not oppose the stronger, more dense, continental plate and slowly subducts under it.
