What does aeolian cross-bedding indicate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Deposition on dune slip faces and the direction of wind transport
Aeolian cross-bedding forms as wind transports sand up the gentler windward side of a dune and deposits it on the steeper lee or slip face. Repeated dune migration creates inclined layers that preserve the former transport direction, although the exact interpretation requires attention to the dip of the foresets. Option C is correct; the other choices are cave, glacial or karst processes.
