| Abstract: | Qualitative and quantitative observations show a general positive correlation between grain size and thickness of cross-bedded units. Greater sand-wave height correlates with greater turbulence which permits more and coarser grains to be transported. A theory is developed which qualitatively explains these relationships. |
