Stratigrafiya
Stratigraphy is a branch of geology that studies rock layers and layering (strata) to understand the geological history of the Earth and to interpret past environments. It is based on the principle that younger layers are deposited on top of older layers, a concept known as the law of superposition. Stratigraphy is crucial for reconstructing the sequence of geological events, such as the formation of mountains, the movement of tectonic plates, and the evolution of life.
The study of stratigraphy involves examining the physical characteristics of rock layers, such as their composition,
There are several types of stratigraphy, including lithostratigraphy, which focuses on the physical characteristics of rock
