It is a complex maze of passageways, large and small, mostly developed along one or two major bedding planes.
22.
The cave system is contained within the Middle Limestone and chiefly developed along the shale partings of the bedding planes.
23.
The dam cross section is rather squat in order to provide sufficient resistance against potential sliding along foundation bedding planes.
24.
Stones are aligned to suggest a bedding plane and plants are often used to conceal the joints between the stones.
25.
Stones are aligned to suggest a bedding plane, and plants are often used to conceal the joints between said stones.
26.
The water takes the path of least resistance by running along the faults, fractures, and bedding planes of the limestone.
27.
The weak, originally-horizontal bedding planes of the quartzite are now vertical, which rules out the stone being in a natural position.
28.
They appear in nodular patches, concentrated along bedding planes, protruding from weathered cliffsides, randomly distributed over mudhills or perched on soft pedestals.
29.
If the bedrock is already highly jointed, fractured or a bedding plane it will be easier for the chunk to be removed.
30.
Highly jointed or bedding plane bedrock can make it easier for the blocks to be lifted or shifted out of their position.
