- Synopsis
- There are three plan images of an area of coastline on this page, one at the top, one in the middle and one at the bottom of the page. An image border surrounds each 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. In all images the land is in the bottom left and the sea to the top and right. A beach of sand and shingle runs from left to right along the edge of the land. The coast abruptly changes direction and goes down the page in the middle of the image. In the top image the longshore drift going from left to right has started the formation of a small spit of land where the coastline changes direction. In the middle image the spit has become quite long and in the bottom image it is stable enough for a salt marsh to form behind it.
