    Answer (B) P-2, Q-1, R-4, S-3 Assymetric ripples (current ripples) are formed by bed load transportation of sediments. Dish and pillar are water escape structures formed after deposition of sediments. As a result of compaction, the excess water captured in pore spaces come out leading to the formation of dish (for horizontal movement) and pillar (for upward movement) structures. Flute casts are formed as a result of current scouring. High speed currents scour the top of previously deposited beds and subsequently deposited coarse grain sediment takes up the shape of scoured surface and result into flute cast. Wavy beddings are characteristic structure of tidal Environment. Due to fluctuating current conditions, different grain sized sediments get deposited in a single strata.
