- Synopsis
- This is a cross section image of a beach. An image border surrounds the image. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. There is a cliff in the top left of the page and a small section of sea in the bottom right of the page. The sea is shown at low tide. The sand of the beach goes from the left of the page at the bottom of the cliff across to the right next to the sea. Down from the sand is rock. The level of the high tide is marked by a horizontal dotted line. Where it meets the beach it makes a ridge of sand and small stones called a berm. The sea sorts the beach material out with finer particles on the lower beach and larger particles higher up the beach. The largest particles form a storm beach at the very top of the beach above the high tide line. They are deposited by the powerful surge and waves of a violent storm.
