Geological Principles: Horizontality, Superposition, Unconformities, Inclusions, Lecture notes of Geology

Several fundamental principles of geology, including original horizontality, superposition, unconformities, and inclusions. These principles help geologists understand the sequence and relationships between different rock formations and geological events. various types of unconformities, intrusive and extrusive rocks, and the processes of deposition, burial, metamorphism, uplift, erosion, and faulting.
