Question about old pour silver bars.

I have a few old pour silver bars that have an unusual pattern of ripples and ridges. Does this pattern have a name or terminology? Thanks.

    So, they form as the silver cools. Thanks. I read somewhere that they are most prominent when the mold is cold so this makes sense.
