Ok CJ, it's time for a Geology lesson.  KW, what is Geology?  I'll explain that to you later.  Now in geology and related fields, a stratum (plural: strata) is a sedimentary rock or soil, or igneous rock where formed at the earth's surface, with internally consistent characteristics that distinguish it from other layers.
