Geologists use these structures to interpret the processes that made the rock and the environment in which it formed. They use uniformitarianism to usually compare sedimentary structures formed in modern environments to lithified counterparts in ancient rocks. Below is a summary discussion of common sedimentary structures that are useful for interpretations in the rock record.

Fluids can be present and even facilitate movement, but they do not cause it.

Layers >1 cm thick are called beds and those <1 cm thick are called laminae. Some layers show internal changes in grain size. A variety of descriptive terms can be applied to the contacts between layers and their overall geometry.

Desert deposits are characterized by thick sets of cross-bedded sandstones and a combination of evaporites, mud, gravel, and fluvial deposits in interdune areas.
