Reference: Hangendes und Liegendes

Reference information:
It should be Hangendes.

Liegendes ist eine bergmännisch-geologische Lagebezeichnung für Gestein, das eine Bezugsschicht unterlagert. Das Liegende muss nicht notwendigerweise älter als der Bezugshorizont sein. Der Begriff hat jedoch in den verschiedenen geowissenschaftlichen Disziplinen eine im Detail jeweils etwas andere Bedeutung. Die Lagebezeichnung für Gestein, das einen Bezugshorizont überlagert, ist Hangendes.
