Levegréteg

Levegréteg refers to a specific type of geological formation or deposit. The term itself is Hungarian, directly translating to "air layer" or "leaf layer." In geological contexts, it generally describes a thin, often discontinuous stratum of fine material that accumulates on a surface, potentially formed by airborne deposition. This could include dust, volcanic ash, or even fine organic matter that has settled from the atmosphere over time. The composition and properties of a levegréteg can vary significantly depending on the source of the deposited material and the environmental conditions under which it formed. These layers are often studied to understand past atmospheric conditions, volcanic activity, or paleoenvironmental changes. Their thinness and sometimes fragile nature can make them difficult to identify and preserve, but they can provide valuable chronological markers and insights into depositional processes. The study of levegréteg contributes to broader fields like stratigraphy and sedimentology, aiding in the reconstruction of Earth's history.
