Spit
A depositional landform Material is deposited
when water loses energy. Can be curved due to the
prevailing winds.

Cove
An erosional landform Form when soft rock is
eroded faster than hard rock.
Often are circular in shape.
Bay
An area of soft rock. A result of differential
erosion along a coastline. Bands of hard and soft
rock are eroded away at different rates.
BeachBar

Headland
A result of differential erosion along a coastline.
Formed by erosion of bands of soft and hard rock.
An area of hard rock.
Groynes
Hard Engineering method to prevent erosion.
It helps to build up a beach to dissipate wave energy.
