Answer:

-law of original horizontality

-law of superposition

-law of original lateral continuity

-law of cross-cutting or intrusive relationships

Explanation:

Relative dating is the science that many scientist use to set an order, or to figure out the order in which past events happened, this is without actually invetigating the natural age of the elements, and from stratigraphy and paleontology the laws of relative dating are:

  1.    Uniformitarianism
  2.    Intrusive relationships
  3.    Cross-cutting relationships
  4.    Inclusions and components
  5.    Original horizontality
  6.    Superposition
  7.    Faunal succession
  8.    Lateral continuity
