LARGE- SCALE FEATURES
ACCUMULATE ON
DEPOSITIONAL COAST.
Sand spit
deposition landform found off coast.
spits grow, salt marsh develop as water being sheltered.
Form where longshore current slow.
Slow current deposition of sand and gravel at
downcurrent of headland.
Curled cause by wave refraction.
Spurn point
Bay mouth bar
sand spit attach to headland.
adjacent to bay.
protect the bay.
Inlet
Narrow body of water.
At sea coast connection between bay and ocean.
Bay mouth bar
Beach and baymouth bar at
the mouth of the Russian
River at Jenner
Barrier island
Sand bar exposed and parallel to shoreline.
Sediment accumulate on submerged rise.
develop most easily on wave dominated coasts with a
small to moderate tidal range.
Migrate toward land as sea level rise.
Severe storm generate intense waves erode barrier
island.
Lagoon
Long, shallow body of water separated from
large body of water.
Isolated from ocean by barrier island or reefs.
Become island high land of coastal dunes.
Sea level increase island & lagoon increase
toward land.
Garabogaz – Gol
lagoon in
Turkmenistan
Sea island
Firm central core.
Part of mainland when sea level decrease.
Sea level increase surround with beach.
Tombolo sediment accumulate from bridge between
sea island and mainland.
Kelambu beach,
Kudat Sabah
Drumlin and moraines
Form by melting glacier.
The Bride Hills (terminal
moraine), Europe.
Deltas
Deposition of sediment found at river mouth.
Broad continental shelf present as a platform
Condition :
-river transporting a large amount of sediment.
-sea have a small tidal range and weak currents.
-shallow at the river mouth.
Shape represent balance between erosion and deposition.
River-dominatedStrong flow of fresh
water and continental
sediment.
Protect marginal
seas.
Well develop of
distribution cause split
end of river.
TYPE OF DELTA
Tide-dominatedTidal current more
strong than fresh water.
Sediment form long
island parallel to water
flow.
Wave- dominatedSmaller than river
dominated and tide
dominated.
Sooth shoreline.
Have one main exit
channel.
