Waves, tide, and wind dominate coastal processes and landforms. Rivers deliver sediment to the coast, where it can be reworked to form deltas, beaches, dunes, and barrier islands. The coastal zone ...

The size and morphology of coastal dunes is dependent on the complex interaction between controlling winds, sediment supply, and the geomorphology of the nearshore and beach environment. At the ...

Wind can also cause material to be transported, for example by longshore drift, which is where sediment moves along ... Coastal landforms are created through processes such as erosion and deposition.

Earth surface processes, landforms and sediment deposits are intimately related - involving erosion of rocks, generation of sediment, and transport and deposition of sediment through various Earth ...
