Figure 7. Some aspects of geomorphic variability attributable to lithology, 

 structure, and mass movement along semi-consolidated and 

 consolidated coasts in cross section 



rivers deliver sufficient quantities of sediment for the construction of extensive 

 spits and baymouth barriers, or where erosion of cliffs or reefs exceeds 

 transport of sediments by marine processes.
