Book Description | The book Foundations of Sedimentology and Stratigraphy sheds light on the weathering of rocks and soil formation, the transport and deposition of sediments of clastic origin, the textures of sedimentary rocks, the various sedimentary structures, clastic and calcareous sedimentary rocks, and carbonate, chemical and biochemical sedimentary rocks. The book also gives a general overview of the various types of depositional environments: marine, clastic marine, and evaporite and carbonate environments, as these rocks represent the utmost importance because of the information they provide about the history of the Earth and the environments in which they were deposited, and their economic importance as a carrier of oil and some mineral elements. The book focuses on various types of stratigraphy: lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, sequential stratigraphy, seismic and magnetic stratigraphy, chronostratigraphy and geological time. The book also sheds light on basin analysis, land movements, and sedimentation. |
