A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Introduction to stratigraphy

Stratigraphy is the study of rock layers (strata) and layering (stratification). Mastering the principles of superposition, original horizontality, lateral continuity, and cross-cutting relationships helps students interpret geological history and solve exam questions on rock sequences and relative dating.
