The exogenic processes of weathering and erosion create the raw materials for sedimentary rocks.

Layers >1 cm thick are called beds and those <1 cm thick are called laminae. Some layers show internal changes in grain size. A variety of descriptive terms can be applied to the contacts between layers and their overall geometry.

Stratification is one kind of sedimentary structure. A succinct way of defining stratification is layering by sediment deposition.

They serve as barriers between mixed and calm waters and are influenced by factors like season and latitude, being more stable in tropical regions. They impact submarine sonar and are observed in lakes during summer. Atmospheric thermoclines occur with temperature inversions at night, highlighting their importance in aquatic ecosystems and energy dynamics.
