The Hypothesis of How The Wave was Created.
A Prehistoric GlacierScientists argue that there was once a glacier in the middle of the Coyote Buttes. That glacier would have provided some of the abrasion found in the current day Wave.

A Prehistoric RiverThat glacier would have melted, creating a river that flowed in the trenches. This river would explain both how the sandstone formed and the deep canyons.

Current DayThat river must have dried up, leaving the sandstone Wave we are awed by today.
