Thermal Stratification: The formation of layers of different temperatures in a lake or reservoir.
Stratification (or layering)
The tendency in deep water bodies for distinct layers of water to form as a result of vertical change in temperature and, therefore, in the density of water.
stratification
The arrangement of sediments in layers or strata marked by a change in color, texture, dimension of particies and composition.
stratification (in epidemiology)
Process of or result of separating a sample into several subsamples according to specified criteria such as age groups, socio-economic status, etc.
Stratification: Separating into layers.
Stratigraphy: Study of the formation, composition, and sequence of sediments, whether consolidated or not.
Stratosphere: The portion of the atmosphere 10-to-25 miles above the earth's surface.
stratification 1) The natural division of the plant community into superposed strata or layers. 2) The division of a body of water into two or more depth zones, as in thermal stratification. 3) The formation of separate layers (of temperature, ...
stratification. The formation of separate layers (of temperature, plant, or animal life) in a lake or reservoir. Each layer has similar characteristics such as all water in the layer has the same temperature. Also see thermal stratification.
Stratification: Layering or bedding of geologic materials (e.g., rock or sediments).
Stratum: A horizontal layer of geologic material of similar composition, especially one of several parallel layers arranged one on top of another.
thermal stratification the formation of vertical temperature zones in a lake or pond.
Stratification In earth sciences, stratification refers to the formation of separate layers of temperature, plant, or animal life in a lake or reservoir. Stratosphere The portion of the atmosphere 10-to-25 miles above the earth's surface.
Lakes and reservoirs which are relatively deep, do not freeze over during winter, and undergo a single stratification and mixing cycle during the year (usually in the fall).

Dimictic- Lakes and reservoirs that freeze over and normally go through two stratifications and two mixing cycles a year.
Usually, these are the seeds that pass through animals. Other types of dormancy may be broken with prolonged chilling under moist conditions (2°C for 30 - 60 days) followed by warm, long days and cool nights. This process is called stratification.
stratification Separating into layers. stratosphere The region of the upper atmosphere extending from the tropopause (8 to 15 km altitude) to about 50 km.
