A spit or sandspit is a deposition landform found off coasts. At one end, spits connect to land, while at the far end they exist in open water. A spit is a type of bar or beach that develops where...

Results of modeling and development patterns of a series of ridge and runnel systems along the spit indicate that sediments are derived from the eastern limb of the cape or, under certain conditions, from sediments stored in Cape Lookout Shoal by longshore currents.

This energy created from the breaking waves allows for weak currents to carry large amounts of coarse-grained sediment down the shoreline. These weak currents, known as longshore currents, carry water and sediment parallel to the shoreline toward the downdrift end of the beach.

Primarily these waves, breaking at an angle to the shoreline, are what generate a "longshore current" that parallels the shore. Importantly, the longshore current not only moves water in the surf zone, it also moves...

Longshore drift is one of the principal processes in the construction of spits, bars and tombolos, and in the overall sustainability of beach deposits. Longshore currents and longshore drift are generally considered to be constructive processes.

SPIT FORMATION Spits are formed along coasts where longshore drift is in progress. ... 2 7 Longshore currents deposit a large quantity of sediment along the seaward side. High energy wave action deposits the sand many metres above mean water level, which can then form dunes or contribute to the buildup of sediment on the...
