Undulating Stratification

Undulating stratification refers to sedimentary layers that exhibit gentle, wave-like undulations, often formed by the interaction of sedimentation and wave action. This stratification is significant in sedimentology for interpreting past environments, particularly shallow marine and fluvial settings.
