Hi guys,

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the objective of this video is to look at

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the bedding structures that form
when sediment is deposited.

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
These bedding structures all form 
in different environments.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
These environments which create the bedding 
structures will be discussed.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Firstly,
we will talk about the horizontal beds,

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or strata,
that the sediment is laid down in.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sedimentary rock is stratafied,
which means that it has layers.

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
These layers have formed because sediment 
is laid down in horizontal layers called strata.

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Between each layer of strata,
we have bedding planes.

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And these bedding planes form because 
the region has experienced

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a change in depositional environment or material.

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We can see here in this photo that we have 
had one type of sediment laid down

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And then,
a change in depositional environment

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
has caused a different type of sediment
to be laid down on top,

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in between which is a bedding plane.

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We know that the strata towards
the bottom of a series is older

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
than the strata at the top.

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And this happens because the sediment 
is laid in this way.

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Bedforms are formations that occur due to 
the movement of wind and water.

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Bedforms are created when water or wind,
flows over loose sediment.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And the shape and
