Seealso Socialstratification refimprove date March 2012 tocright Economic stratification refers to the condition within a society where social classes are separated, or stratified, along economic lines. Various economic strata or levels are clearly manifest. While in any system individual members will have varying degrees of wealth, economic stratification typically refers to the condition where there are meaningful gaps between the wealth controlled by various groups, and few instances in the transitional regions. Economic stratification should not be confused with the related concept, economic inequality . This deals with the range of wealth, rather than the existence of distinct strata. Economic inequality and economic stratification can coincide, of course. Causation Causal conditions The causal conditions for stratification include Unequal distribution of resources assets and income Asymmetrical personal ability Education , Genetics Genetic Factors Cultural priorities State institutions and activities The effects that stratification produces in society as a whole can be significant.

Class stratification is a form of socialstratification in which a society tends to divide into separate social class class es whose members have differential access to resources and power. An economic and cultural rift usually exists between different classes. People are usually born into their class, though social mobility allows for some individuals to be promoted to a higher level class or demoted to a lower level one. Process of class stratification In the early stages of class stratification, the majority of members in a given society have similar access to wealth and power, with only a few members displaying noticeably more or less wealth than the rest. As time goes on, the largest share of wealth and status can begin to concentrate around a small number of the population. When wealth continues to concentrate, pockets of society with significantly less wealth may develop, until a sharp imbalance between rich and poor is created. As members of a society spread out from one another economically, classes are created. When a physical gap is added, a cultural rift between the classes comes into existence, an example being the perception of the well mannered, cultured behavior of the rich ...

In mathematical logic In mathematical logic , stratification is any consistent assignment of numbers to Predicate logic predicate symbols guaranteeing that a unique formal Interpretation logic interpretation of a logical theory exists. Specifically, we say that a set of Clause logic clauses of the form math Q 1 wedge dots wedge Q n wedge neg Q n 1 wedge dots wedge neg Q n m rightarrow P math is stratified if and only if there is a stratification assignment S that fulfills the following conditions If a predicate P is positively derived from a predicate Q i.e., P is the head of a rule, and Q occurs positively in the body of the same rule , then the stratification number of P must be greater than or equal to the stratification number of Q, in short math S P geq S Q math . If a predicate P is derived from a negated predicate Q i.e., P is the head of a rule, and Q occurs negatively in the body of the same rule , then the stratification number of P must be greater than the stratification number of Q, in short math S P S Q math .

Aquatic layer topics Water stratification occurs when water masses with different properties salinity halocline , Oxygenation environmental oxygenation chemocline , density pycnocline , temperature thermocline form layers that act as barriers to water mixing ref cite book last Miller first Charles B. title Biological Oceanography year 2004 publisher Blackwell Publishing ref . These layers are normally arranged according to density, with the least dense water masses sitting above the more dense layers. Water stratification also creates barriers to nutrient mixing between layers. This can affect the primary production in an area by limiting photosynthetic processes. When nutrients from the benthos cannot travel up into the photic zone , phytoplankton may be limited by nutrient availability.

refimprove date December 2009 In horticulture , stratification is the process of pretreating seed s to simulate natural winter conditions that a seed must endure before germination . Many seed species undergo an embryonic dormancy phase, and generally will not sprout until this dormancy is broken. The time taken to stratify seeds depends on species and conditions though in many cases two months is sufficient. In the wild In the wild, seed dormancy is usually overcome by the seed spending time in the ground through a winter period and having its hard seed coat softened up by frost and weathering action. By doing so the seed is undergoing a natural form of stratification or pretreatment. This cold moist period triggers the seed s embryo , its growth and subsequent expansion eventually break through the softened seed coat in its search for sun and nutrients. Process Stratification is the process of subjecting seeds to both cold and moist conditions. Typically, temperatures must be between 1 C and 5 C 34 F and 41 F . The term can be traced to at least 1664 in Sylva or a discourse of forest trees & the propagation of timber, Vol. II. where seeds were layered stratified between layers of moist soil and exposing these strata to winter conditions.

Herringbone cross stratification is type of sedimentary structure formed in tidal areas, where the current periodically flows in the opposite direction. Formation During the conventional formation process of cross stratification , sand grains saltation geology saltate up the upstream side of the dune, collecting at the peak until the angle of repose is reached. At this point, the crest of granular material has grown too large and will be overcome by the force of the depositing fluid, falling down the downstream side of the dune. Repeated avalanches will eventually form the sedimentary structure known as cross stratification, with the structure dipping in the direction of the paleocurrent . ref name Lehner In tidal areas, which have bidirectional flow, structures are formed with alternating layers of cross beds dipping in opposite directions that reflect the alternating paleocurrent. These sedimentary structures are not common because they require the current to be equal in both directions, which rarely happens in nature.
