Buerger plane

The Buerger plane is a concept used in geology to describe a flat, hypothetical surface that forms at the boundary between sediment layers in the Earth. It represents the level at which sediments stabilize in nature, influenced by factors like pressure and the type of material. Think of it as a reference point for understanding how different layers of soil, rock, or sediment interact. Geologists use the Buerger plane to study geological formations and to interpret the history of an area, helping to uncover clues about Earth's past environmental conditions.
