Petrology is the branch of geology that focuses on the study of rocks, their composition, classification, origin, and the processes that lead to their formation. Sedimentary rocks, one of the three main types of rocks, are formed through the accumulation and cementation of mineral and organic particles derived from pre-existing rocks, organic materials, or chemical precipitates. These rocks often display distinct primary structures that provide valuable information about the depositional environments and processes involved. Here, we will explore five primary structures commonly found in sedimentary rocks:

1. Bedding or Stratification:
   Bedding is perhaps the most fundamental and easily recognizable primary structure in sedimentary rocks. It refers to the horizontal layering of sedimentary rocks, known as beds or strata, which vary in thickness and composition. Each bed represents a distinct episode of sedimentation, offering insights __ ___________ ________ ___ ______ ___________ ___________ ___ __________.
