Landforms of Littoral Drift

Landforms of Littoral Drift

Main objective of this lecture is to present on Landforms of Littoral Drift. Onshore offshore drift and longshore drift deposit and shape debris to produce a variety of landforms. A spit is an elongated deposit that extends from the land edge out to sea. It may be shaped to produce a distinctly curved end, as in Cape Cod. Another landform that attaches an island to the mainland is known as a tombolo, while deposits may also accumulate to create barriers such as a bay barrier.
