Final answer:

Geological events are determined using relative dating principles like Original Horizontality and Cross-Cutting Relationships.


Explanation:

The sequence of geological events can be determined using principles of relative dating and the study of rock strata. The Principle of Original Horizontality states that layers of sediment are originally deposited horizontally, with any tilting or folding occurring later. The Principle of Cross-Cutting Relationships helps determine the relative ages of rocks by observing deformations that cut across them.
