Nicholas Steno is known as the father of modern geology for his principles on stratigraphy and the law of superposition. He established that the layers of rock in the Earth's crust were deposited in a specific order and introduced the concept of original horizontality, which states that sedimentary layers are deposited horizontally. Steno's work laid the foundation for the study of rock layers and the history of Earth's formation.
The law of superposition was first proposed by the Persian geologist Avicenna, or Ibn Sina, in the 11th century. However the Danish scientist Nicolas Steno produced a clearer understanding of the principle in the 17th century. A link is provided below.
He was a Danish Catholic bishop and scientist born January 11, 1638 and died December 5, 1686.
Nicholas Steno, a Danish scientist, is often credited as the founder of stratigraphy. He developed the fundamental principles of stratigraphy in the 17th century, which are still used in geology and archaeology today to study the layers of the Earth's crust.
James Hutton is considered to be the father of modern geology. For more information please see the related links.
The principles of Original Horizontality, Superposition, and Continuity were proposed by Nicolas Steno, a Danish scientist and bishop who is considered one of the founding fathers of modern geology. Steno's work laid the foundation for understanding the principles of stratigraphy and interpreting the Earth's history through rock layers.
