  2. Social stratification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_stratification

    Weber introduced three independent factors that form his theory of stratification hierarchy, which are; class, status, and power: Class: A person's economic position in a society, based on birth and individual achievement. [18] Weber differs from Marx in that he does not see this as the supreme factor in stratification.

  3. Stratification (water) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratification_(water)

    Stratification in water is the formation in a body of water of relatively distinct and stable layers by density. It occurs in all water bodies where there is stable density variation with depth. Stratification is a barrier to the vertical mixing of water, which affects the exchange of heat, carbon, oxygen and nutrients. [1]

  4. Three-component theory of stratification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-component_theory_of...

    The three-component theory of stratification, more widely known as Weberian stratification or the three class system, was developed by German sociologist Max Weber with class, status and party as distinct ideal types. Weber developed a multidimensional approach to social stratification that reflects the interplay among wealth, prestige and power.

  5. Stratification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratification

    Stratification (archeology), the formation of layers (strata) in which objects are found; Stratification (water), the formation of water layers based on temperature (and salinity, in oceans) Ocean stratification; Lake stratification; Atmospheric stratification, the dividing of the Earth's atmosphere into strata; Inversion (meteorology)

  6. Graded bedding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graded_bedding

    The term is an explanation as to how a geologic profile was formed. Stratification on a lateral plane is the physical result of active depositing of different size materials. Density and gravity forces in the downward movement of these materials in a confined system result in a separating of the detritus settling with respect to size.

  7. Sedimentary structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedimentary_structures

    Hummocky cross-stratification This stratification is made up of undulating sets of cross-laminae that are concave-up (swales) and convex-up (hummocks). These cross-beds gently cut into each other with curved erosional surfaces. They form in shallow-water, storm-dominated environments.

  8. Lake stratification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_stratification

    Lake stratification is the tendency of lakes to form separate and distinct thermal layers during warm weather. Typically stratified lakes show three distinct layers: the epilimnion, comprising the top warm layer; the thermocline (or metalimnion), the middle layer, whose depth may change throughout the day; and the colder hypolimnion, extending to the floor of the lake.

  9. Class stratification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_stratification

    Class stratification is a form of social stratification in which a society is separated into parties whose members have different access to resources and power. An economic, natural, cultural, religious, interests and ideal rift usually exists between different classes.
