A rock or fault is younger than any rock (or fault) through which it cuts. This principle was developed by James Hutton.
Example
In a series of horizontal sedimentary beds, there is an igneous dyke which cuts vertically through them.
The dyke is younger than the sediment beds, as the beds would have had to be around before […]
Bit cell is the length of tape, the area of disc surface, or the part of integrated circuit in which a single bit is recorded. The smaller the bit cells are, the better the storage density of the medium is.
In magnetic storage, the magnetic flux or magnetization doesn’t necessarily change at the boundaries of bit […]

Soil texture is a soil property used to describe the relative proportion of different grain sizes of mineral particles in a soil. Particles are grouped according to their size into what are called soil separates (clay, silt, and sand). The soil texture class (eg. sand, clay loam, etc) corresponds to a particular range of separate […]
Trundle beds (or truckle beds) are usually considered a pair of beds, one slightly smaller than a twin bed that is on rollers or casters so that it may be put beneath the upper twin bed for storage. Trundle beds allow for two separate beds to be available when necessary, but do not require […]
The Bouma Sequence (after Arnold H. Bouma, 1962) describes a classic set of sedimentary beds (turbidites) deposited by a sediment-water turbidity current. The Bouma Sequence specifically describes the medium grained variety, which are usually found in the continental slope or rise setting.
The Bouma Sequence is divided into 5 distinct beds labelled A through to E, […]
