Sagot :

Intruding objects are older in the law of inclusion.

The statement of option A describes the difference between the law of inclusion and the law of crosscutting in relative dating of rocks and fossils.

How can we understand that this statement describe the difference?

  • The Law of Inclusions was described by James Hutton and stated that if a rock body contained fragments of another rock body, it must be younger than the fragments of rock it contained. The intruding rock must have been there first to provide the fragments.
  • The Principle of Cross-Cutting Relationships states that if a fault or other body of rock cuts through another body of rock then it must be younger in age than the rock.
  • That means the rock or object which intrudes according to the law of inclusion is more older than the law of crosscutting relationships.

Therefore, Intruding objects are older in the law of inclusion. So, option A is correct.
