"Principles of Sedimentology and Stratigraphy"

"Principles of Sedimentology and Stratigraphy" involves studying how sediments—particles like sand, silt, and clay—are transported, deposited, and form layers over time. Sedimentology examines the processes that create these sediments and their characteristics, while stratigraphy focuses on understanding the sequence, age, and history of layered rocks (strata). Together, these principles help scientists interpret Earth's geological past, including changes in environment and climate, by analyzing sediment patterns and structures. This knowledge is essential for fields like natural resource exploration, environmental reconstruction, and understanding Earth's evolution.
