Sedimentology and Stratigraphy are intertwined disciplines that focus on interpreting Earth's history as recorded in sedimentary rocks. Sedimentology examines the processes of sediment formation, transport, deposition, and lithification (the transformation into rock), providing insights into the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of past environments. Stratigraphy, in turn, studies the arrangement, correlation, and age of these rock layers (strata), organizing them into a chronological framework. By combining these approaches, geologists can reconstruct ancient landscapes, track changes in sea level and climate, and piece together the vast timeline of geological events and the evolution of life.
