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 the texture of the bedform,
depends on the velocity of the flowing wind or water,

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and the size of the sediment.

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One type of bedform is ripples.

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ripples occur to due the flow of water.

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Asymetrical ripples occur when water's 
just flowing in one direction.

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
As we can see here.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Symetrical ripples will occur 
when the waves oscillate back and forth.

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
As we can see here.

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
These bedforms can be preserved in
the sedimentary rock,

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because new sediment can be deposited on top.

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And the formation will remain the same
and will be lithified in this shape.

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Another type of bedform are dunes.

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Dunes form with the same formation process 
as the asymetrical ripples when they form

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
due to water.

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
However,
dunes form due to the action of wind.

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Cross Bedding is another type of 
bedform.

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Cross bedding forms in the process of 
making ripples or dunes.

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Whether
