Which one of the following structures indicates Syndimentary deformation?
Show Hint
- Festoon bedding
- Flaser bedding
- Tabular bedding
- Convolute bedding
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
[6pt] - Festoon bedding (A) is a type of cross-bedding that forms in environments with strong water currents but is not directly related to syndimentary deformation.
- Flaser bedding (B) refers to alternating layers of fine and coarse sediments, usually in tidal environments, but it is not related to syndimentary deformation.
- Tabular bedding (C) refers to flat, horizontal layers of sediment and is not associated with deformation.
Thus, convolute bedding (D) is the correct answer, as it is characteristic of syndimentary deformation.
