Bedding Rocks Definition
There are many different ways to define the term bedding rocks. In geology, the most commonly used term is ‘bed’. A bed is a layer of sedimentary rock that has unequal thickness. These layers can vary in thickness from a few millimetres to several metres. However, the terms “thick” and “thin” are only relative, and the meaning varies according to the geologist’s experience and training.
The most common way to define rock layers is to compare them in thickness. The thickness of the individual layers will depend on their composition. For example, a layer of limestone may be thinner than another layer of limestone. A rock layer may be a combination of different rock types. Some types of rocks are both sedimentary and igneous. If a rock is not classified by its thickness, it is said to be a “bedrock.”
Bedding rocks can be divided into several distinct types. Oftentimes, these layers are cross-bedded, or angled. This type of layering is typically formed by wind or flowing water. The layering of a bedded rock is usually quite thin compared to its roof span. These ridges are characterized by small, even irregular gaps between the layers. Bedding rocks are a subgroup of sedimentary rocks, though there are also a few stratified metamorphic rocks that fall under the same general definition.
