How modern environments may be preserved in a sequence of rocks
Following on from our new ELI about Walther's Law last week, today's ELI is about interpreting environments from a sequence of rocks and comparing the results with modern environments - 'Environmental detective: imagining how the evidence of modern environments could become preserved'.
This activity is an imaginative exercise in thinking about where different environments might occur on a tropical desert coast and how the evidence might become preserved in a sequence of rocks.

How a relative rise in sea level affects a vertical sequence of sediments?
Today's new ELI+ is 'Walther’s law of sedimentation – teaching it the LegoTM way How does a relative rise in sea level affect a vertical sequence of sediments?'
This activity aids an understanding of the effects of relative sea level change on stratigraphy - - an important aspect of sedimentology and stratigraphy.
Related activities can be found in 'Stratigraphy and sequences' on our website.
