What is another word for tectonostratigraphy?
Pronunciation: [tˌɛktənˌɒstɹɐtˈɪɡɹəfi] (IPA) 
Tectonostratigraphy is a term used in geology to describe the study of the relationship between the crustal structure and stratigraphy of a region. Although not a commonly used word, there are several synonyms for this term, including lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, and geochronology. Lithostratigraphy focuses on the physical rock layers, while biostratigraphy is the study of fossilized plant and animal life found in geological formations. Chronostratigraphy involves measuring time and geochronology utilizes radiometric dating techniques. Despite the different approaches taken by these terms, they all refer to the same general topic of studying the geological makeup and history of the earth's crust.
