This video tutorial introduces the concept of stratification, focusing on how layers of rocks are formed. It outlines the learning objectives, which include defining stratification and describing the formation process of stratified rocks. The video explains the natural arrangement of rock layers, known as strata, and details the four steps involved in forming stratified rocks: weathering, erosion, deposition, and compaction. It also discusses the law of original horizontality, which states that sediments are deposited horizontally. The lesson concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.
