The Map of Strata

The Map of Strata is a conceptual framework used in geology and stratigraphy to visualize layers of rock or sediment over a given area. It helps geologists understand the sequence, distribution, and relationships of different strata, highlighting how layers are deposited over time and how they connect or change across regions. By mapping these strata, scientists can interpret Earth's history, identify resources, and assess geological stability. Essentially, it’s like a detailed, layered map that reveals the story of Earth's past environments and processes through its buried layers.
