Stratified rocks are formed through a process of layering and are commonly referred to as sedimentary rocks. There are several synonyms that can be used to describe these types of rocks, including laminated rocks, banded rocks, and layered rocks. Each of these terms refers to the unique appearance and structure of stratified rocks. Laminated rocks, for example, are defined by their distinct layers that are often thin and parallel. Banded rocks, on the other hand, feature distinct color patterns that run perpendicular to the layering. Layered rocks generally refer to any rock that features distinct layers or strata. Each of these terms can be used interchangeably to describe the different types of stratified rocks.
