Earth:Succession (geology)
From HandWiki
Short description: Geology for a series of strata or rock units in chronological order
In geology, a succession is a series of strata or rock units in chronological order. Rock successions can be seen in cross sections through rock, for example in a road cut or cliff. With sedimentary layers of rocks, newer units will be above older units, except in cases of inversion.
