deposited further inland‚ near the back of the beach. Another factor that may affect the development of depositional landforms is beach type. Drift-aligned beaches form when wave approach the coastline at an angle and sediment is transported along the coast by the action of longshore drift. When wave approach the shore‚ sediment is pushed up at an oblique angle by swash (this angle is determined by the prevailing winds) and removed back to the sea by backwash. Spits are formed when there is an abrupt

A few methods of erosion

for the waves to disperse their energy‚ while coasts with cliffs and short shore faces give little room for the wave energy to be dispersed. In these areas the wave energy breaking against the cliffs is higher‚ and air and water are compressed into cracks in the rock‚ forcing the rock apart‚ breaking it down. Sediment deposited by waves comes from eroded cliff faces and is moved along the coastline by the waves. This forms an abrasion or cliffed coast. Sediment deposited by rivers is the dominant
