Stratigraphy

Definition of Stratigraphy as it relates to Science, Chemistry, Geology

Stratigraphy is the branch of geology that studies rock layers and their composition, arrangement, and chronological sequence to understand Earth's history. It focuses on interpreting spatial relationships between rock units, determining the relative ages of rocks, and reconstructing past environments. As a key component of geology, stratigraphy helps scientists unravel the complex story of our planet's evolution and its dynamic natural processes.
