Wave-formed ripple Wave-formed ripple In sedimentology, wave-formed ripples or wave-formed ripple marks are a feature of sediments (sandstones, limestones, siltstones) and dunes. These ripple marks are often characterised (and thus distinguished from current ripples) by symmetric cross sections and long relatively straight crests, which may commonly bifurcate. Commonly, these crests can be truncated by subsequent flows. Their wavelength (periodicity) depends on the sediment grain size, water depth and water-particle orbits in the waves. On tidal flats the pattern of wave-formed ripples may be complicated, as a product of changing depth and wind and tidal runoff directions. Symmetrical ripples are commonly found in
The Wave 96.4 FM The Wave 96.4 FM 96.4 The Wave is a British Independent Local Radio station that serves the Swansea Bay area of West Wales. The station is owned by Wireless Group and mainly broadcasts chart and contemporary music, alongside news and local information, for an audience of under 40s. Initially broadcasting as 95.1 Swansea Sound on 30 September 1974, the station split into two separate services on 30 September 1995, creating a new music-led station called 96.4 Sound Wave when it moved its frequency from 95.1 FM to 96.4 FM, while Swansea Sound continued to broadcast on 1170 AM.
