What depositional environments would you expect to find well-rounded cobbles and why would they be there? In a modern environment, where would you expect to find high-angle cross-beds? Describe the degree of sorting in such a setting.

Sedimentary settings and processes

Answer the three questions pertaining to different sedimentary settings and processes. The Journal should be at least one page in length and include diagrams/pictures to explain your geological answers.

1) What depositional environments would you expect to find well-rounded cobbles and why would they be there? Name at least two different depositional settings.

2) In a modern environment, where would you expect to find high-angle cross-beds? Describe the degree of sorting in such a setting.

3) In what depositional environment(s) would you find ripple marks and what causes them to form? What can they tell us.
