In geological terms, faults are generally considered to be younger than both extrusions and intrusions. Extrusions, such as lava flows, occur when magma reaches the Earth's surface, while intrusions involve magma solidifying below the surface. Faults represent fractures in the Earth's crust that can displace earlier geological features. Therefore, the sequence typically places faults as the youngest event.
