The geologic history of various regions and of Earth as a whole can be reconstructed based on rock strata. The system of geological time scale also correlates and classifies rock strata in which certain types of fossils are found. Fossils on rock provide paramount means of establishing Earth’s events with the emergence and disappearance of widespread species as recorded. The remnants’ record is also used to outline the beginnings and endings of ages, epochs, periods, and other interval. Stratigraphy as a mother branch of geology helps geologist to determine the sequence of events in a sedimentary basin at its most simple level. Stratigraphic studies goal to study the entire sequence of rock strata to determine the time relationships that are involved elsewhere. Half of the 20th century, the traditional stratigraphic schemes have led to somewhat less confusion of nomenclature, thus, more reliable information on which to base conclusions about Earth’s history. As 21st century learners, this module provides information that tackles concepts related to stratified rocks based on the principles. This module is designed with figures, pictures, varied activities, and tasks to let your learning exciting and Earth’s history driven in relation to rock formation. Moreover, the lessons integrated in this module will let you describe the possible events that occurred in a certain area based on the rock layers found therein.

This will also help you understand why and how the Earth’s surface experience natural occurrences. 2 S O L V E V I C C T S C C C A B Y Y S O L S R S U O N D D E L A N L E P Y U V N V V S D R O C C K R S N O V E M A D O O R A K E T A K E N S S I N G S N N A A M P R D S H N W O R I K D L I M G D D F G O N E S O I L S S I E S A L T E R M O N I G W N P N L A Y E R I N G Z M E G O E L A P S S V I N E M A I S A S O U N D R I F T H T T I R M A G M A T I S M A H A T T E R U P T I O N C B E C I H L E G A K L M I N E R O O Q L F R P W X F R Z G I V N U E G J Q X I X R Y R N S E A F A U L T I N G Q E G P D K R H L A X Z Z V J V S P P E S I R L A N D S L I D E S D S T A T S E T S L D S S S R S N O I T A M R O F K C O R As mentioned earlier, one of the evidence of Earth’s history is the rock formation and stratification. Now, let us know some significant terms to facilitate your understanding on rock stratification. Definition and description of these words were provided for you to explore the lesson. Let’s unlock Terms:  Bedding is also called stratification which describes the sedimentary rocks layering, and sometimes, the layering found in metamorphic rock.  Sedimentary rock is a type of a rock formed by the accumulation of sediments with subsequent cementation of mineral, or organic particles on ocean floor or other bodies of water at the Earth's surface.  Strata is also referring to rock layers.  Stratigraphic Laws are basic principles used and applied by geologist to determine the age and characteristics of a rock layers.  Stratigraphy is the study of a rock strata or layers. A Danish scientist named Nicholas Steno, studied the relative positions of sedimentary rocks. Further, Steno made mention that solid particles settle according to their relative weight and size. First to settle is the largest and heaviest one while the smallest and lightest are last to deposit. He said that layering is the most evident feature of sedimentary rocks. Particle size and composition of the materials contributed much to the layering. The scientific discipline concerned with the description of rock successions and their interpretation in terms of a general time scale is called stratigraphy. This discipline provides a basis for historical geology and found application such as petroleum and archaeology. Moreover, through the use of stratigraphic concept and data, the process of locating reservoir traps has been done significantly. . What’s More In order for you to develop mastery of the competency of this lesson, accomplish this required task. Developing Mastery 1: KIM Chart: Stratified Rocks What to Do? 1. Identify the Key words/ideas or concepts that you have learned so far related to stratified rocks. Identify as many as you can. 2. Give Information such as a definition or description that matches the key idea. 3. Draw/illustrate/cut-out pictures for the visual representation of the concept as for the Memory Clue. 4. Use the table below to show your KIM Chart. A sample is given below. Use separate sheet of paper. Key word/idea or concept Information Memory Clue Example: strata rocks layering 3 What Is It A rock strata is composed of preserved and fossilized species. This understanding helps the scientists to piece together the evolutionary history of a group of organisms and Earth’s history as a whole. The Grand Canyon in Arizona is the good example of rock stratification. This place is a natural formation distinguished by layered bands of red rock that reveals millions of years of geological history in a cross-section. A simple figure below shows how Grand Canyon shows rock layering. Figure 2: Grand Canyon at Arizona Source: Grand Canyon National Park: Mather Point Pano 03." Flickr at https://www.flickr.com/photos/grand_canyon_nps/7553734530. What’s More Developing Mastery 2: My Geologic History Contribution Materials Needed: pencil, bond papers, and any coloring materials What to Do?  Imagine yourself as a geologist who is observing rock layers in an area or place.  Construct a simple geologic history of that area or place by illustrating your own rock strata. You will consider the simple sequence in which the oldest part is at the bottom while the youngest is found at the top. Use different colors and shapes to represent the fossilized species in every sequence and location.  Write a brief but concise description of your own stratified rock geologic history contribution. 4 Lesson Fundamental Principles of 2 Stratigraphy What’s In Is there a specific order of the layers of rocks? Actually, there is no specific answer to this because rocks change over time. But, as the principle of stratigraphy explains that the bottom layer of rocks is the oldest and the top pile is considered youngest. Besides, the strata may range from thin sheets that cover many square kilometers to thick that extend only a few meters laterally. During deposition, the stratification in sedimentary rocks may result changes in texture or composition. The order of rock layering may appear as alternations of coarse and fine particles. Color changes resulting from differences in mineral composition or merely as layers of same feature separated by distinct planes of parting. In 17th century, Nicolaus Steno, a Danish scientist and theologian, presented the organic origin known as fossils. This was the time when the guiding principles of paleontology and historical geology began to worked on by few individuals. Besides, the major objective of this work is to establish the history of Earth from its origin to the present. In geologic history, the geometric relationships of rocks with respect to each other, such as layered rocks or strata, the relative ages of which may be determined by simple principles application. What I Need to Know Module 11 Lesson 2 discusses the four fundamental principles of stratigraphy. Figures of these principles are provided to help you understand the importance and application of Stratigraphic Laws. Stratification is the process by which layers of soil and debris are laid down on top of one another over time can be related to making ‘mango float’. First, you place down the first layer of crust (biscuits), then sliced ripe mango on top of that, then whipped cream, then another layered of crust, and so on. There is no way for you to put the bottom layer of crust on before you add the cream on, and still maintain the same sequence of these different layers. The delivery of this module is also explorative because the discussion of the concepts are accompanied with figurative presentation. Again, follow the icons as to complete this module. The icons will guide you according to paces to make your learning more specific and explorative. 7 What’s New Now, do learning activity 3 before going further with the discussion. Don’t forget to follow the instruction given to you before doing the activity. Learning Activity 3: Multiple Causes and One Effect Diagram Directions: This activity is a modified way of identifying causes and effect using the multiple causes and one effect diagram. The effect is given already, just give the possible causes why and how stratification of rocks take place. Have your own diagram on a sheet of paper and do the rest. Causes Effect What Is It How’s your learning activity 3? Did you able to identify possible causes of stratification of rocks? Now, let’s continue with this module to deepen your learning. This time, you will be provided with the information on how the layers of rocks are formed or stratified. Illustrative data is also given to comprehend the four fundamental principles of stratigraphy. About 17th to 19th centuries, based upon the work of Nicholas Steno, James Hutton, and William Smith, stratigraphy laws was developed. Note that these principles are the foundation of more comprehensive history of Earth when we talk about stratified rocks. We will discuss one by one the principles of stratification on the next part of this module. 8 Stratification of Rocks Fundamental Principles of Stratigraphy 1. The Principle of Original Horizontality. This law states that most sediments when deposited will form a horizontal or nearly horizontal strata under the action of gravity. Figure 4: The Principle of Original Horizontality 2. The Principle of Lateral Continuity. This principle states that layer of sediment initially extend laterally sideways in the same order. There are similar rocks but separated by a valley or other erosional feature, still, they can be assumed to be originally continuous. In the same manner scientist can correlate layers at one location to another. Figure 5: The Principle of Lateral Continuity 9 What I Have Learned To process what you have learned from Lesson 2 of this module, answer the following questions briefly and concisely on separate sheet of paper. The same rubric for essay will be used. Q1. How did geologists determine the sequence of stratified rocks? Q2. Explain the importance of fundamental principles of stratigraphy. Q3. What happens to the rock stratification hence the Earth is constantly in motion? What I Can Do This part of the module is designed to showcase your skills and knowledge gained, and applied into real-life concerns and situation. To do this, a performance task entitled Dynoactivity is assigned to you. You can do the task at home and present your output to your teacher. Lesson 2: Performance Task 2: Dynoactivity: A 3D Model of a Rock Stratification Materials Needed:  The Sedimentary Layers Puzzle (Figure 3, next page)  Pair of scissors  Paste  Any available or indigenous material for your 3D, such as small boxes, wrappers, and the like. KEY POINTS: Sediments such as sand and silt were laid down and compressed to form sedimentary rock layers for over million years. Records of ancient landscapes, climates, and organisms were preserved. The correct sequence of sedimentary rock layers using the fossils found within them was oftentimes determined by scientists. They figure out and compare if two layers are from the same geologic time period or not. Procedure: 1. Photocopy The Sedimentary Layers Puzzle found on the next page of this activity and cut it out into five strips of paper. The strips represent sedimentary rock layers formed during certain periods. 2. Arrange them into correct sequence according to the Principle of Faunal Succession. The letters from the puzzle represents each period of succession. 3. With the use of any available indigenous materials, make your 3D model of the said principle. Rubric is provided to guide you and serves as rating criteria. 4. Present your best performance output and be rated by your teacher using the rubric as shown on the proceeding page. To process this activity, answer the questions presented below as your learning reflection. 12 Learning Insight: In your own point of view, what happens to the succeeding animals based on the sedimentary layers puzzle? Which period (A, B, C, D, and E) of time went extinct first? How about the last to exist? How helpful is the rock stratification to Earth’ history and why? sheinvsowsi4s . wé \ onl, L sravHs AIANOOVe shanysovals connie eiora BENT OANID SNaIdvs G ® L f \ 3 ‘a ga SAavHS a SY S4S2x0H ONIzAaMO14 soxta AlANO OVA OWNI sanvsousa J FD GR. wy @ A *S unvsoudld zvvive SiNv14 SEUENE NS AIANOOVHA snanvsodavh ONIASMO1d ane SAaVHS OANLO gaAV1 154010 vigI4sa anysowdld S\ - SISAHdO1409 Se O@®AK< IINSOISOd tl, SALINOWW sens AIaNOSvea | -.) ea ONIAAMO14d OANID Gg S..
