The sedimentary structure formed by unidirectional current is
The sedimentary structure formed by unidirectional current is
Updated On: Feb 10, 2025
- trough cross-bedding
- oscillation ripple
- concretion
- hummocky cross-stratification
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Trough cross-bedding is formed by unidirectional currents, typically in a fluvial or shallow marine environment. This structure is characterized by angled layers of sedimentary material that are deposited in a current-driven direction.
