Principles and Concepts of Stratigraphy in Geology
**Stratigraphy**
Stratigraphy is the study of layered (stratified) rocks, primarily sedimentary rocks, focusing on their composition, origin, age relationships, and geographic extent. However, it also applies to certain igneous rocks, such as layered lava flows or volcanic ash beds, which follow the principles of stratigraphy. Additionally, some metamorphic rocks exhibit stratification and can be studied using stratigraphic principles.

Precautions in Demolition Abatement
It is very important to study the structure. Dimensioning the cable is important because it can divide the costs. Instead of demolishing, cutting, and charging a beam. The cable resistance must be greater than the building. To this end, a backstop to distribute charges (in the wave barrier is placed metallic cable).
Security Mechanism: F1R > F2 > F demolition, being F1R carder breakage.

**Deciduous Forest**
Deciduous forests are forests of deciduous trees that lose their leaves in the winter. They are typical of northern Spain, where hardwood forests such as beech and oak thrive.
**Desertification**
Desertification is the process that leads to a breakthrough in the area of desert soil misuse by inappropriate farming practices, resulting in the loss of vegetation. Currently, a wide area in the Peninsula is in danger of desertification, especially the southeast area: Almeria and Murcia.

Water Balance
Water balance: Rain = surface runoff + evaporation + underground runoff. In a lamb, regional inputs and outputs are always balanced.
Basin
A basin is an area of land where water and sediments drain into a common riverbed. It is a natural formation with magnificent hydrogeological, physical, chemical, and biological properties that make up various common elements (climate, etc.). It is formed by many water currents and increases the water below.
It starts in small streams, to rivers, and

Mineral and Energy Resources of the Geosphere
The resources of the geosphere can be divided into mineral and energy resources. Among the latter, we will study fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and geothermal energy.
Mineral Resources
Mineral resources constitute a vital resource to sustain industrial activity. Given their non-renewable nature, there is a constant search for new sources as those that have been exploited are depleted.
Types of Deposits
- Deposits of foreign origin are found in sedimentary rocks,
Climate Variations: Urban Centers and Seasonal Changes
Winter Climate
Wintertime typically corresponds to a dry, cold season with clear skies. This is due to the influence of anticyclones. The Azores anticyclone, usually positioned to the south, retreats. However, a seasonal anticyclone often forms at the heart of the Plateau, causing very low temperatures, below 0°C, resulting in frost and morning fog. The Iberian Peninsula may also be affected by other anticyclones, such as those from Central Europe or Siberia. The concentrated cold air in the lower
