  • Bedding Planes: Understanding Rock Layer Boundaries
    The wavy line between layers of rock is called a bedding plane.

    Here's why:

    * Bedding: This refers to the layering in sedimentary rocks. It forms as sediments are deposited, often in horizontal layers.

    * Plane: This indicates a flat surface.

    So, the wavy line is a bedding plane because it represents the boundary between two layers of sediment that were originally deposited horizontally.
