Convective Processes 



Longshore transport (waves) 



Tidal Currents 



Winds 



May result in accretion of Qg, erosion of Qj,, or no change depending on 

 conditions of equilibrium. 



May be important at mouth of inlet and vicinity, and on irregular coasts 

 with high tidal range. 



Longshore winds are probably not important, except in limited regions.
