Mechanical Stratigraphy

Mechanical Stratigraphy is a geological framework that classifies and analyzes rock layers based on their mechanical behavior and deformation properties under tectonic stress, distinguishing it from purely lithological stratigraphic systems by focusing on rheological contrasts and fracture patterns in intraplate settings.
