  2. Lithophyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithophyte

    Nepenthes sp. Misool growing as a lithophyte in Raja Ampat, New Guinea. Lithophytes are plants that grow in or on rocks.They can be classified as either epilithic (or epipetric) or endolithic; epilithic lithophytes grow on the surfaces of rocks, while endolithic lithophytes grow in the crevices of rocks (and are also referred to as chasmophytes).

  3. Way up structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Way_up_structure

    A way up structure, way up criterion, or geopetal indicator is a characteristic relationship observed in a sedimentary or volcanic rock, or sequence of rocks, that makes it possible to determine whether they are the right way up (i.e. in the attitude in which they were originally deposited, also known as "stratigraphic up" or "younging upwards") or have been overturned by subsequent deformation.

  4. Cladogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladogram

    The characteristics used to create a cladogram can be roughly categorized as either morphological (synapsid skull, warm blooded, notochord, unicellular, etc.) or molecular (DNA, RNA, or other genetic information). [7] Prior to the advent of DNA sequencing, cladistic analysis primarily used morphological data.

  5. Sedimentary structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedimentary_structures

    Sedimentary structures include all kinds of features in sediments and sedimentary rocks, formed at the time of deposition.. Sediments and sedimentary rocks are characterized by bedding, which occurs when layers of sediment, with different particle sizes are deposited on top of each other. [1]

  6. Cleavage (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleavage_(geology)

    Cleavage is a type of rock foliation, a fabric element that describes the way planar features develop in a rock. Foliation is separated into two groups: primary and secondary. Primary deals with igneous and sedimentary rocks, while secondary deals with rocks that undergo metamorphism as a result of deformation. Cleavage is a type of secondary ...

  7. Foliation (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foliation_(geology)

    Gneiss, a foliated metamorphic rock. Quartzite, a non-foliated metamorphic rock. Foliation in geology refers to repetitive layering in metamorphic rocks. [1] Each layer can be as thin as a sheet of paper, or over a meter in thickness. [1] The word comes from the Latin folium, meaning "leaf", and refers to the sheet-like planar structure. [1]

  8. List of rock types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rock_types

    Slate – Metamorphic rock - A low grade metamorphic rock formed from shale or silt; Suevite – Rock consisting partly of melted material formed during an impact event – A rock formed by partial melting during a meteorite impact; Talc carbonate – A metamorphosed ultramafic rock with talc as an essential constituent; similar to a serpentinite

  9. Lenticel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenticel

    As stems and roots mature lenticel development continues in the new periderm (for example, periderm that forms at the bottom of cracks in the bark). [citation needed] Lenticels are found as raised circular, oval, or elongated areas on stems and roots. In woody plants, lenticels commonly appear as rough, cork-like structures on young branches.
