1 Tahsin Islam University of Barisal.

2 Stratigraphy: Stratigraphy is the study of rock layers (strata) and their relationship with each other. Stratigraphy provides simple principles used to interpret geologic events.

3 Law of Original Horizontality: Sedimentary rock layers are deposited horizontally. If they are tilted, folded, or broken, it happened later.

4

5 Law of Superposition : When sedimentary rock layers are deposited, younger layers are on top of older deposits.

6

7 Cross-Cutting Relationships Rock that are cut by another geologic feature are older than the feature that cuts them.

8

9 Systematic sequence of fossils with time. Extinct fossils do not reappear in younger rocks. Faunal Succession

10 Principles of Relative Age Law of Lateral Continuity : Sedimentary rock layers extend in all directions horizontally unless a river erodes them or an earthquake moves them

11 Thank You All.
