Sedimentology
Sedimentology focuses on how loose sediments are created, transported, and eventually turned into the layered rocks that record Earth’s history. From river-carried sands to wind-shaped dunes and coastal deposits, every grain tells a story about past environments and the forces that shaped them. In this category, you’ll find clear, practical explanations of sedimentary structures, depositional settings, and the surface processes that help us interpret the planet’s ever-changing landscape.
Stratigraphy
Stratigraphy is the study of rock layers and the layering of rocks. Stratigraphy is an important field because it helps us understand the Earth's...
