Stratigraphy.
Stratigraphy, or formation, refers to the study of strata, or rock layers. Stratigraphy is often used for geologic time markers, and it serves many uses in the scientific world.
Sedimentary rock provides evidence of the history of rock. But how? It's very simple. There are different layers of earth piled on top of each other. They may contain fossils or other organic materails. Scientists study the layers of the Earth and do that by looking at the soil and rock. The type of sediment in different layers will, of course, be different. Therefore, scientists can figure out about the type of year or years that the occupants of the Earth had.
In stratigraphy, a principle refers to a fundamental concept or guiding rule that helps identify and interpret the rock layers or strata within the Earth's crust. These principles are based on observations and empirical evidence. They include principles such as the law of superposition, which states that in undisturbed rock layers, the youngest rocks are on top and the oldest rocks are at the bottom. Other principles include the principle of original horizontality, principle of lateral continuity, and principle of cross-cutting relationships.
Information on time periods in earth's history and the events that happened in those time periods, all based on the study of fossils and rock layers.
no, geology is a sub part of earth science. earth science is complete study of earth and includes geology( study of earth crust), oceanography( study of oceans), Glaciology( study of glaciers), soil science( study of soil)

Strata is the plural of stratum.In geology and related fields, a stratum is a layer of sedimentary rock or soil with internally consistent characteristics that distinguish it from other layers. The "stratum" is the fundamental unit in a stratigraphic column and forms the basis of the study of stratigraphy.
Geology
The physics and the formation of the Earth.
Study and use visuals, make it engaging
The study of the layers of the Earth that have been deposited over a long period of time is called stratigraphy. This field helps scientists understand the chronological order of rock layers and their composition, providing insight into the Earth's past environments and geologic history. Stratigraphy is crucial for interpreting the history of life on Earth and understanding past climate changes.
