Bedding planes are found exclusively in sedimentary rock. Joints are more common in igneous rock, but can be found in sedimentary rock as well. Igneous rock can never have bedding planes, but does have pseudo-bedding planes.

What is the definition of bedding plane in geological view?
A bedding plane is the area of separation between rock strata made by a cyclical or situational deposition of sediment. Bedding planes are originally parallel to the horizon, but the strata inclination can be altered by crust moving events.
What is difference between plane truss and space truss?
In plane truss, both the truss structure and the applied loads lie in the same plane. In space truss, either the structure or the loads or both lie in different planes.
How do you tell the difference between the planes C-130 Hercules and C-130J Hercules?
This is easy, well you can find that the loading bay opens more different on the c-130J but also, the tail wings are slightly wider. -Fugiebuns
Do planes have catalytic converters?
No, planes don't have catalytic converters.
What is the estimated lifespan of a Boeing 777?
The estimated average lifespan of a Boeing 777 is approximately 4.3 years. These planes can seat between 314 and 451 passengers.
Whats the difference in graded bedding and cross bedding?
Surfaces between layers of sediments (bedding planes) are usually deposited in horizontal sheets, but cross-bedding is inclined. Graded beds are horizontal and are usually sorted from coarse at the bottom to fine at the top.
What is the difference between a 'bed' and a 'bedding plane'?
The difference is that the layers in a sedimentary rocks are called beds and the place where beds meet are called bedding planes. answer by: Muhammad Shahrukh Khan school: The city school KARACHI GULSHAN CAMPUS PREP II-W

Why can caverns form along joint planes?
The joints, bedding-planes and faults provide conduits for water to penetrate the limestone mass; and it is the water, slightly acidified by absorbed carbon dioxide, that dissolves the rock to form the cave.
How does carbonic acid help form caves?
As ground-water it dissolves the calcium carbonate that is limestone's primary mineral, in its flow through the rock's joints, bedding-planes and faults.
How are bedding planes formed?
as rocks are compressed
What is the difference between planes and insects?
planes are bigger than insects. insects are smaller than planes.
How do stalagmites form in limestone caves?
no one noes Yes they do. Precipitation and crystallisation of calcium carbonate dissolved from the limestone by water leaching through the joints, bedding-planes or faults in the rock.
Number of planes in uniaxial joint?
Number of planes in the uniaxial joints?
The main difference between a mudstone and shale is what?
Shale - a sedimentary rock formed from clay or mud by considerable pressure. splits easy into thin laminations along its bedding planes and shrinks when dried out cracking to form pieces that often curl slightly to resemble tiles. when moistened it has an earthy smell Mudstone - a fine textured sedimentary rock similar to shale but is compact and is not, like shale, arranged in bedding planes
What are horizontal cracks in rocks called?
They are called bedding planes
What are horizontal cracks in limestone called?
Limestone is formed in layers called Bedding Planes and the vertical cracks are called Joints. The horizontal cracks are not given a specific name - however I am sure someone will want to contradict this
