Show transcript
Longshore drift is the lateral movement of sediment across the beach through swash and backwash.
Longshore drift creates depositional landforms such as spits, bars and tombolos.
Spits are long narrow ridges of sand or shingle which project from a coastline into the sea.
Salt marshes may form behind spits, as these are low energy zones.
Spits can change direction due to the prevailing wind, which makes them curve into a hook.
