Ripple Marks and Mudcracks

Description

This video focuses on ripple marks and mudcracks. Both of these features are caused by the influence of water. Ripple marks can form as asymmetrical or symmetrical depending if the depositional environment is a stream of beach area. Mudcracks form in wet environments that dry out regularly. A sample question is included at the end.
