Sedimentary Rock Formation Stages Course
This course teaches sedimentary rock formation from source materials through weathering, transport, deposition, and lithification. Learners build stratigraphic logs, interpret fluvial-deltaic-marine facies, predict rock properties such as sandstone, shale, and limestone, and apply diagenesis knowledge to geology and geography projects, enhancing subsurface and surface interpretations with practical skills.

What will I learn?
Explore sedimentary rock formation stages step-by-step, from weathering of source rocks to transport, deposition, compaction, and lithification into stable layers. Master interpreting grain sizes, cements, porosity, and structures like cross-bedding. Develop skills to construct stratigraphic logs for river-to-coast sequences, analyze facies transitions, predict reservoir properties, and produce professional geological reports for real-world applications.
