GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Stratigraphy is a branch of Geology which deals with the sequence of rocks in relation to the time of their deposition. It focuses primarily on stratified rocks that include sedimentary rocks and lava flows. It also includes study of metamorphic and other igneous rocks in relation to the time of their formation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stratigraphy is they classification of different layers or layering of sedimentary deposits, and in sedimentary or layered volcanic rocks. This field is important to understanding the geological history and forms the basis for classification of rocks into distinct units that can be easily mapped.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stratigraphy is a branch of Geology and the Earth Sciences that deals with the arrangement and succession of strata, or layers, as well as the origin, composition and distribution of these geological strata.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stratigraphy (noun, “Strah-TIG-grah-fee”) This is a branch of geology that focuses on geological strata, or rock layers. The ground beneath your feet is not one solid mass. It has layers, like the layers of an onion, on its outer crust. These layers build up over time.

Detailed explanation-5: -It’s the branch of geology that deals with the description, correlation, and interpretation of stratified sediments and stratified rocks on and in the Earth. Inasmuch as by far the greatest part of the uppermost zone of the earth’s bedrock is sedimentary rock, stratigraphy is an important branch of Earth science.
