Ripple marks in rocks are formed by?
They initially are formed by moving water which arranges sediment in patterned formations. If the ripples in the sediment are covered with other sediments before being obliterated, or if the ripple marks dry, and are then covered with subsequent sediments, they may eventually be preserved in the rock strata.
What do ripple marks in sedimentary rock mean?
the rock was under water millions of years ago
Which is most likely a nonsedimentary rock a rock containing fossil shells a rock showing ripple marks and mud cracks a rock composed of gravel cemented together a rock consisting of large intergrown?
a rock consisting of large intergrown
What does the magnetic dip preserved in a rock indicate?
the rock's magnetic latitude at the time that it formed
What type of rock is a ripple mark?
A ripple mark is not a kind of rock in and of itself, but a feature found in some sedimentary rocks, usually sandstones.
Ripple marks likely indicate that a rock formed?
Wind/ in water
A geologist finds a section of rock that shows ripple marks What does the presence of ripple marks say about the area where the rock formed?

How are ripple marks formed?
In general, ripple marks are those marks left by water or wind or a surface they have affected. Ripple marks caused by water may appear on rock, or on sand caused by water or wind. Use the link below for more information and some pics.
Sedimentary rocks with ripple marks suggest that the rocks formed where?
Ripple marks in sedimentary rock were emplaced in sediments by near shore wave action, covered by additional sediments, and eventually lithified into a solid rock which becomes exposed by weathering and erosion of overlying material over large expanses of time.

Which type of rock is likely to show ripple marks and fossils?
Sedimentary rocks show fossils, because of pre-existing life forms. They also show ripple marks due to weathering and erosion...
How do you know that rock in some mountains formed under water?
Rock which has formed under water and is now appearing on the surface in mountainous areas would exhibit characteristics of sedimentary rocks found in marine settings: strata, marine fossils, and cemented sediments of various sizes and chemistries. Ripple marks could also be present.
