Ripple marks are caused by water flowing over loose sediment which creates bed forms by moving sediment with the flow. Bed forms are linked to flow velocity and sediment size, whereas ripples are characteristic of shallow water deposition and can also be caused by wind blowing over the surface.

Ripples and Dunes

When a wind or water current flows across loose sand, the sand is dragged along the bottom and frequently is piled up to form ripples and dunes.
