	Strata - CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
		Sequence of sedimentary rock layers (strata) from Lake Mead.
		With the exception of the lowest stratum, all the strata were contained in two parallel planes to the horizon and were at one time parallel to the horizon.
		The fact is that strata are formed by sediments in a fluid but the standard stratigraphic model seems to ignore the affect of the fluid on sediments.

		Rock strata are layers of material laid down by natural forces.
		Strata consist of similar material and may extend over hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of the Earth's surface.
		Strata are typically seen as bands of different colored or differently structured material exposed in cliffs, road cuts, quarries, and river banks.

	Top Evidences Against the Theory of Evolution
		The Rock Strata is better explained by a universal flood than by gradual normal death of organisms over millions of years recorded in the rock as evolutionists assert.
		The rock strata consists of a plethora of contradictions and reversals.
		Rock strata is far better explained by a universal flood rather than millions of years.

	Sedimentary Rocks
		Sedimentary rocks are generally softer than igneous rocks (made when molten lava cools down) and softer than metamorphic rocks (made by heating and squeezing a sedimentary or igneous rock).
		You don't have to go close up to the rock to see the strata; if you do, you will be able to see the cracks caused by the weather.
		Metamorphic Rocks like slate and marble are formed when either a sedimentary or an igneous rock is changed by the effects of extreme heat or compression.

	Bridger Basin Project: Stratigraphy
		Stratigraphy is the science of rock layers, or strata, and it involves the study of all aspects of these strata, including interpretations regarding their origin and geologic history.
		Stratigraphers use rock layers to subdivide rock formations, because a single layer of rock that can be traced and mapped over a significant geographic distance represents a relatively synchronous time-horizon.
		The smallest subdivision would be an individual bed of rock, such as a “marker bed.” Marker beds, which are so-called because they are laterally continuous and thus mappable over large distances, are used to define the boundaries between overlying and underlying rocks, and to correlate rock sequences across often large geographic areas.

	Microevolution and Macroevolution—Macroevolution
		Rock strata can be used to date fossils because the organisms from which the fossils were derived died and were eventually buried in the material from which the rock was made.
		Except in the case of major Earth events, such as mountain building and erosion, the youngest rock strata and the fossils they contain are closest to the earth's surface and become older the deeper they are found in the crust.
		Also, rock strata in neighboring areas can be reconciled with each other if they are composed of similar rock or mineral type.

	Where are the Human Fossils? - ChristianAnswers.Net
		What is needed, of course, are actual human bones fossilized in situ as an integral part of rock strata that are demonstrably ancient in evolutionary terms, and therefore are usually Flood sediments of the creationist framework for earth history.
		After all, the early Flood geologists, prior to the advent of Lyellian uniformitarianism and the evolutionary geological time-scale, applied the term “Tertiary” to those rock strata that they believed to be post-Flood.
		As the hot molten rock rises through the sediments, the sediments are often baked by the heat, and again chemical and mineralogical changes occur that obliterate many contained fossils.

	SCIENCE VS EVOLUTION 12
		Rocks are not dated by their height or depth in the strata, or which rocks are "at the top," which are "at the bottom," or which are "in the middle." Their vertical placement and sequence has little bearing on the matter.
		Any rock containing fossils of one type of trilobite (Paradoxides) is called a "Cambrian" rock, thus supposedly dating all the creatures in that rock to a time period 600 million years in the past.
		Rock strata are studied, a few index fossils are located (when they can be found at all), and each stratum is then given a name.

		The general strike orientation of the metamorphic rocks of the northern Alabama Piedmont is northeast and the dip is to the southeast.
		At Stop 1, the rocks have a pronounced northwest dip (60 NW) and a northerly strike (N 16 E) orientations that are contrary to the general trend.
		The exposed metamorphic rock units of the rim are primarily coarse- to medium-grained biotite-garnet-feldspathic schist and gneiss (metagraywacke), quartzite, quartz-graphic-muscovite schist.

	Crust (geology) Summary
		Using sedimentary rock strata it should be possible, at least in theory, to write the geological history of the continents for the last billion or so years.
		For example, knowing these rocks were laid down in adjacent environments, the geologist might consider that the limestone was deposited on a coral reef, the shale in a quiet lagoon or coastal swamp, and the sandstone in a nearby beach.
		The vast majority of rocks of this age are located in cratons where the crust is up to 70km thick, which prevents it being destroyed by subduction.

	Highbeam Encyclopedia - Search Results for strata
		Changes between strata are interpreted as the result of fluctuations in the intensity and persistence of the depositional agent, e.g., currents, wind, or waves, or in changes in the source of the sediment.
		Stratified rocks were originally formed from sediments that were deposited in flat, horizontal sheets, although in some places the strata are no longer horizontal but have warped.
		In the broadest sense, the term includes both the core of salt and the strata that surround and are 'domed' by the core.

	Fold (geology) Summary
		Strata are layers of rock, whether of sedimentary (e.g., sandstone or limestone) or of extrusive igneous (e.g., lava flow) origin.
		Another example of a landform created by rock strata is the flatiron, which is an asymmetrical hill formed by the upturned edges of a dipping layer (rock stratum).
		The standard symbol for orientation of rock strata is the strike-dip symbol, which consists of a long bar, parallel to strike, and a short spike, parallel to dip direction.

		A road cut and geologists' subsequent study of the rocks it bares are, in effect, a biopsy of planetary tissue that enables a diagnosis of an area's geological history.
		The interbedded strata of shale and limestone in the Devil's Backbone wall may have resulted from periodic storms that washed layers of limestone-forming materials into the deeper waters of the continental shelf where the clay minerals of the shale were being deposited.
		As the two continents pressed against each other, the rock strata at their margins and lying on the ocean floor between, including those of the Hogan Lane road cut, were squeezed north and folded upwards.

	Nearctica - Geology - Stratigraphy - Some Definitions
		is the science of rock strata, their relative and absolute ages, and the relationships between strata.
		Rock layers can sometimes be given an absolute date based on the decay rates of radioactive elements found in the minerals of the rock.
		Sometimes a sequence of rock layers is interrupted because either one or more of the layers were removed by erosion or moved by a deformation event such as a fault.

	Fault Finding
		Historical geology is the study of the fossils and rock formations found in the earth, and from the positioning of these fossils and rock layers called "strata" we derive information regarding the estimate of the age of the earth, and the estimates of the ages of particular layers of rock.
		We don't know the original condition of the rock, we can't be guaranteed that the sample is uniform in consistency, and we don't know if any of the parent or daughter elements have contaminated or leached out of the sample.
		One explanation is that the parent elements in the rock, potassium, rubidium, and uranium, are highly soluble in water in their ionized form, making them subject to leaching, especially in a flood environment.

	Unidiversal - Evolution Cruncher
		The second theory is called the allochthonous theory, and suggests that coal strata accumulated from plants which had been rapidly transported and laid down during a massive flood that inundated entire continents and suddenly stripped them of their trees.
		The sedimentary rock strata are frequently not arranged as they ought to be—if they had been quietly laid down over millions of years.
		Applying this theory to the rock strata is the means of dating the strata, but it requires that each stratum have an age that is millions of years older than the next stratum above it.

	NOAA Ocean Explorer: Investigating the Charleston Bump
		The Mn-phosphorite rock samples we have recovered are mostly comprised of small nodules ranging in size from 1 to 5 cm in diameter that have been cemented together with additional Mn-phosphorite to form a solid, very dense rock that is highly resistant to erosion.
		Long after their formation millions of years ago, these strata of flat-lying rock were fractured, broken, and shifted by tectonic movements of the Earth’s crust.
		The different rock types have varying resistances to the erosive forces of the Gulf Stream’s bottom currents, where the phosphorite is most resistant and the mudstone is easily eroded particle by particle.

		This mechanism, which combines biogeographic zones of living things with a tendency for crustal rock to downwarp also is used to explain why, in the lower layers of fossils, there are fewer fossil types that have any representatives still alive today.
		I also provide 200 examples of fossils occurring in "wrong" rock strata, according to evolution, and show that there usually is no evidence to support the usual evolutionary rationalization that these are situations where fossils from older rock were washed out and redeposited in younger strata.
		I demonstrate that there are gross contradictions in billion-year values from earth's rock, and that there are even some values obtained which are much greater than the 4.5-billion-year accepted age of the earth.

	Glossary of Mining Terms
		Competent rock - Rock which, because of its physical and geological characteristics, is capable of sustaining openings without any structural support except pillars and walls left during mining (stalls, light props, and roof bolts are not considered structural support).
		Applies to sedimentary rocks, as the contact between a limestone and a sandstone, for example, and to metamorphic rocks; and it is especially applicable between igneous intrusions and their walls.
		Such pressures may be great enough to cause rocks having a low compressional strength to deform and be squeezed into and close a borehole or other underground opening not adequately strengthened by an artificial support, such as casing or timber.
