STRATIFIED Meaning and Definition

1. Stratified is an adjective that describes a configuration or arrangement divided into distinct layers, levels, or strata. The term is commonly used in reference to geological, social, or organizational structures that exhibit a clear hierarchical distribution.

   In geology, stratification refers to the process of layering rocks or sediments over time, resulting in the formation of rock layers or strata. These layers represent different periods of deposition and can provide valuable insights into the Earth's history, as each layer may contain distinct fossils or minerals.

   In a social context, stratified societies are characterized by divisions or ranks based on social status, wealth, or power. Such divisions often lead to the existence of social classes, with certain privileges, opportunities, and resources being disproportionately distributed among different strata. Societies may exhibit gender, economic, ethnic, or caste-based stratification, with implications for social mobility and inequality.

   In the organizational realm, stratified structures refer to hierarchical systems wherein authority and power are distributed across different levels. For instance, a corporation may have top-level executives, middle-level managers, and frontline employees, each occupying a different stratum and having varying levels of decision-making authority and responsibility.

   Overall, stratified entails an arrangement that is structured into distinct layers or strata, depicting variations in characteristics, composition, or power dynamics as one moves across these different levels.

2. In geol., composed of layers or beds of rock-matter.
