  • Understanding Bedding Planes: Boundaries Between Rock Layers
    The boundary between two sedimentary rock layers is called a bedding plane.

    Here's why:

    * Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and cementation of sediments. These sediments are typically deposited in layers.

    * Bedding planes represent a break in deposition, meaning that there was a pause in the deposition process before new layers of sediment were added.

    * These boundaries can be visible due to differences in the texture, color, or composition of the rock layers.
