`strata`¶

Layered rock: the ground beneath terraced into dipping beds, each a flat bench below a cliff, so hills become stepped buttes and mesas; lays bedrock over the cliffs.

Key	Type	Default	Range	Unit	Description
`bed_thickness`	number	`2.0`	(0, inf)	m	Mean thickness of a bed, in metres.
`thickness_variation`	number	`0.4`	[0, 1)		How far each bed boundary strays from even spacing, in bed thicknesses, in [0, 1).
`dip`	number	`0.0`	[0, 1.5708)	rad	Dip of the beds from horizontal, in radians, below 90 deg.
`dip_azimuth`	number	`0.0`		rad	Direction the beds dip toward, in radians counter-clockwise from +x (local east on a body).
`sharpness`	number	`4.0`	[1, inf)		How sharply each bed is cut into a flat bench and a cliff, at least 1; 1 leaves the ground as it is.
`strength`	number	`1.0`	[0, 1]		Share of the terracing applied, in [0, 1].
`cliff_share`	number	`0.3`	(0, 1]		Share of each bed's height, at its top, laid as bedrock in the material map, in (0, 1].
`seed`	integer	`1`			Seed of the bed boundaries.
`anchor_x`	number	`0.0`			On a body, the longitude in degrees of the point whose tangent frame the dip is measured in.
`anchor_y`	number	`0.0`			On a body, the latitude in degrees of the anchor.
`hard_share`	number	`1.0`	[0, 1]		Share of the beds that are hard rock, from 0 to 1: hard beds form benches and cliffs of bedrock, soft beds slopes cut at soft_sharpness without bedrock.
`soft_sharpness`	number	`1.0`	[1, inf)		How sharply soft beds are cut into benches and slopes, at least 1; 1 leaves them as they are.
