The principles of original horizontality (rocks are initially deposited horizontally), superposition (older rocks are at the bottom in an undisturbed sequence), cross - cutting relationships (a feature that cuts across rock layers is younger than the layers it cuts), and inclusions (fragments within a rock are older than the rock containing them) are used for relative dating. Absolute - age dating and radioactive decay are for determining absolute ages, not relative ages.
