Sedimentary Rock Formation Stages Course
This course teaches sedimentary rock formation from source rock weathering through transport, deposition, and lithification. Learners build stratigraphic logs, interpret fluvial-deltaic systems, predict properties of sandstone, shale, and limestone, and apply facies analysis and diagenesis to geology and geography projects. It equips students with skills for realistic subsurface and surface interpretations, enhancing reports and practical geological analysis.

What will I learn?
Explore sedimentary rock formation stages step-by-step: from source rock weathering and erosion, through transport and deposition, to compaction and lithification. Master interpreting grain size, cements, porosity, and structures; construct stratigraphic logs for river-to-coast sequences; and develop skills for facies analysis, reservoir evaluation, and confident geological reporting.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Build stratigraphic logs for 4-6 layer river-to-coast successions quickly.
- Interpret facies by linking sedimentary structures to fluvial, deltaic, and marine settings.
- Predict rock types by converting sediment descriptions into sandstone, shale, or limestone.
- Evaluate reservoir quality relating porosity, permeability, and diagenesis to flow.
- Select, cite, and summarize key geological reference sources effectively.
