These ripples can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical. These structures are formed due to the presence of two dominant currents. This causes ripples to …

Ripples and Dunes

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.
