ceiling Explanation: It describes a geological structure in which formations are in layers and strata, positioned both vertically and horizontally. The key word "techo" is either a ceiling or a roof, yet if the description is of rock or stone formations in the outside world then there may be a better equivalent, for instance 'upper stone covering'. "The upper part of each layer (stratum) is the horizontal layer or covering, perhaps ceiling, while the lower part is the wall. The surface which separates each layer (stratum) is called the layering stratification plan. The layer (stratum)'s strength or power is the thickness comprised between the ceiling, or upper horizontal layer and the wall." La información describe una estructura geológica en la que formaciones de rocas están en estratos horizontales y verticales. La palabra, techo, en el mundo de fuera puede ser una cobertura horizontal de piedras, colocada en la parte arriba. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 days (2020-11-11 12:43:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The question placed is within the field of a stratigraphical series (una serie estratigráfica), which is a component of the studies of geology. https://www.thefreedictionary.com/stratigraphical Stratigraphy is the study of rock strata (layers), especially the distribution, deposition and age of sedimentary rocks. A stratigraphical series is a number of objects in succession, the objects being strata (layers) which, in the field of geology, are connected with rock formations. https://uk.images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=AwrIDKn92...
