What is Load and Flame Structures in Geology about?
Load and flame structures are sedimentary structures formed post-depositionally through sediment liquefaction. Load casts are formed when a large bed of sand is deposited onto a mud layer, causing weaknesses in the mud to give way under pressure and form bulbous protrusions. Flame structures are sharp projections of mud injected up into overlying sediments through weaknesses formed by the sinking sand. Both structures indicate the younging direction and are formed by density differences between rapidly depo
