Stratigraphy

Definition of Stratigraphy as it relates to Science, Environmental Science, Paleontology

Stratigraphy is the branch of geology concerned with the order and relative position of strata and their relationship to the geological time scale. It involves studying rock layers to understand Earth's history, including past climates, environments, and life forms. As a subfield of paleontology, stratigraphy focuses on fossil-bearing strata, using the distribution and characteristics of fossils to correlate rocks from different locations and establish a relative chronology. In this context, it plays a crucial role in unraveling the history of life on Earth. By understanding the order and age of rock layers, stratigraphy also contributes significantly to other disciplines like environmental science and earth science, providing valuable insights into past environmental conditions and natural resources distribution.
