Detailed explanation-1: -Stratigraphic studies deal primarily with sedimentary rocks but may also encompass layered igneous rocks (e.g., those resulting from successive lava flows) or metamorphic rocks formed either from such extrusive igneous material or from sedimentary rocks.

Detailed explanation-2: -1.3 The study of stratified rocks is called stratigraphy. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
