The ripples do not form in the rocks, they form in soft, sandy sediment usually in water.
The sediments are preserved after they have been buried, de-watered and turned into rock.

Are sedimentary rocks made on the Earth's surface?
Sedimentary rocks form at the bottom of bodies of water, as more and more layers of sediment build up above them. Compared to the depths at which metamorphic rocks form, and some of the places igneous rocks form, these are indeed close to the Earth's surface.
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks formed when they undergo?
Sedimentary rocks form when they undergo metamorphism. Only if they decide NOT to be Sedimentary rocks anymore.
What else can sedimentary rocks form from?
All rocks can form from sedimentary because the rock cycle is endless.
What is the or-gin of sedimentary rocks?
weathering of preexisting rocks form clastic sedimentary rocks, Oversaturated water basins form chemical sedimentary rocks after the water evaporates and dead sea organisms settle at the bottom forming biochemical sedimentary rocks.
What rocks are formed from broken rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks and Cataclasites (a form of metamorphic rock) are formed from broken rocks.
