Coastal landforms resulting from sediment deposition are the focus of this episode.
We describe spits as elongated sand accumulations extending from the coast, often forming sheltered areas.
Bars are explained as spits that have grown across a bay, potentially creating lagoons.
Finally, we detail sand dunes as hills of sand formed by windblown sediment behind beaches, with vegetation playing a role in their growth and maturation.
