How Does Cross Bedding Form. The fluid flow causes sand grains to saltate up. Web formation of cross beds when a depositional environment has sand in it and water or air moves the sand grains around, those grains can build up into piles of.
BasicsDepositional Environments
Desert sand dunes are probably the first. Web cross bedding happens when ripples or dunes pile atop one another, interrupting, and/or cutting into the underlying layers. Web cross bedding forms on a sloping surface such as ripple marks and dunes, and allows us to interpret that the depositional environment was water or wind.
