Faults are younger than the rocks they cut through, as they are formed after the rock units. The offset layers or rocks along a fault help geologists determine the relative age relationship between the fault and the surrounding rocks.
No, intrusive rocks are typically younger than the rocks they cut across. This is because they are formed when molten rock (magma) solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, usually after the surrounding rocks have already formed.
Most sedimentary rocks meet this requirement, but occasionally even volcanic rock may be laid down in a relatively thin layer. But not in the multiply splittable character of shale or slate for example. If the layer has been partly metamorphosed to help re-form the minerals into plates, then this characteristic may be more readily seen. Naturally, the source sediment contains minerals that make some shales more 'fissile' than others.
Yes, you can touch a rock. Rocks are tangible objects which are found throughout the world. They can be touched, held, and carried.
Marble is a type of rock that can be split along natural fissures or fractures, but it typically does not split easily like wood. It can be cut into desired shapes using tools such as saws and chisels. Overall, marble is a durable material that is commonly used in construction and sculpture.
You can cut yourself
You can easily cut popsicle sticks by using a sharp pair of scissors or a small saw. Just be careful and make sure to cut slowly and steadily to avoid splintering.
Faults are always younger than the rocks they cut. They cannot be older that the rocks they are cutting, because the rocks would not be there.

one disadvantage of the cheese grater is that unless you are grating a big lump of cheese it is neigh on impossible not to cut your fingers.
The short answer is yes.
Yes
it was cut from large rocks
Slate tile can be easily cut with a hand masonry saw using a blade with 14 teeth per inch (the coarser the teeth the better the cut). Scribe a line on the slate, whether it be a circle or straight, and cut through vertically.
The rock type in Barton on Sea is mainly composed of soft sedimentary rocks, such as clays and sands. These rocks are easily eroded by the sea, leading to cliff erosion and the formation of unique coastal landforms, such as sea stacks and wave-cut platforms.
Metals that can be cut easily are the alkali metals. They are "soft" metals that can be cut with a knife.
Either they didn't or they used rocks or they burnt it till it fell off.
