  2. Perspective geological correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_geological...

    Geological perspective correlation is a theory in geology describing geometrical regularities in the layering of sediments. Seventy percent of the Earth's surface are occupied by sedimentary basins [1] – volumes consisted of sediments accumulated during million years, and alternated by long interruptions in sedimentation (hiatuses).

  3. Biostratigraphy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biostratigraphy

    Biostratigraphy is the branch of stratigraphy which focuses on correlating and assigning relative ages of rock strata by using the fossil assemblages contained within them. [1] The primary objective of biostratigraphy is correlation, demonstrating that a particular horizon in one geological section represents the same period of time as another ...

  4. Magnetostratigraphy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetostratigraphy

    Magnetostratigraphy is a geophysical correlation technique used to date sedimentary and volcanic sequences. The method works by collecting oriented samples at measured intervals throughout the section. The samples are analyzed to determine their characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM), that is, the polarity of Earth's magnetic field at the ...

  5. Lithostratigraphy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithostratigraphy

    Lithostratigraphy is a sub-discipline of stratigraphy, the geological science associated with the study of strata or rock layers. Major focuses include geochronology, comparative geology, and petrology. In general, strata are primarily igneous or sedimentary relating to how the rock was formed. Sedimentary layers are laid down by deposition of ...

  6. Correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation

    The correlation reflects the noisiness and direction of a linear relationship (top row), but not the slope of that relationship (middle), nor many aspects of nonlinear relationships (bottom). N.B.: the figure in the center has a slope of 0 but in that case, the correlation coefficient is undefined because the variance of Y is zero.

  7. Correlation function (statistical mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_function...

    In statistical mechanics, the correlation function is a measure of the order in a system, as characterized by a mathematical correlation function. Correlation functions describe how microscopic variables, such as spin and density, at different positions are related. More specifically, correlation functions measure quantitatively the extent to ...
