The overall division of sediment into a sequence of beds is called bedding. In the photo below, what is the orientation of the bedding? Choose one: A diagonal B. vertical C. horizontal
The bedding in the photo below is almost vertical. Could bedding have formed in this orientation?
Choose one: A. Yes, because sediment can be deposited in any orientation. B. Yes, because sediment is deposited in layers that parallel the slope of the underlying bedrock. C. No, because sediment is initially deposited in horizontal layers. D. No, because the sediment was shaped into vertical layers by wave action after it was deposited.
