English

Between storms, finer grained sediments accumulate on the seafloor, but during storms those sediments get suspended and moved around, resulting in a sedimentary structure form described as hummocky cross-stratification. en.wikipedia.org

Tides can not be a dominant factor, as cross-stratification is abundant; storm beds, recognised by hummocky cross-stratification, are also common, suggesting that storms were important in shaping the landscape. en.wikipedia.org

Geologists would say that the cross-stratification showed festoon geometry from transport in subaqueous ripples. en.wikipedia.org
