If a rock has ripples pointing down what does that mean?
If a rock has ripples pointing downward, it suggests that the rock was formed in a depositional environment where sediments settled or were deposited horizontally or at a slight angle downward. This can occur in environments like riverbeds, deltas, or beaches where sediments are being deposited and compacted over time.
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 feature of sedimentary rocks forms inclined grains as layers move forward?
Cross-bedding refers to inclined layers in sedimentary rock that were formed as a result of wind or water driven ripples or dunes in the original depositional environment.
What type of bond is formed between two water molecule?
the bond between two water molecule is hydrogen bond.
What causes small waves ripples to form on the ocean?

How does moving water form waves in water?
As it slides over the water surface film, air makes it move. As the water moves, it forms eddies and small ripples. Then waves are formed from these ripples
How does moving air form waves in the water?
As it slides over the water surface film, air makes it move. As the water moves, it forms eddies and small ripples. Then waves are formed from these ripples
What is a bedform?
A bedform is one of a series of hollows and ripples formed in the bed of a river by the flow of water.
Ripples on a surface of a pond?

Describe what happens when ripples on a pond encounter a large rock in the water?

What are the examples mechanical waves?
Sound and Water-Ripples.
What causes waves in the rock layers?
depending on the rock. sedimentary rocks are formed under water and may have water wave ripples. metamorphic rock has been pressed into waves. igneous rocks flowed in waves
