  • Detailed explanation of how sediment is transported along the coast by the process of long shore drift and then deposited on the sheltered side of a headland to form a coastal spit. I also discuss and explain the prevailing wind, the formation of the salt marsh and the role that the river estuary plays in the formation of this coastal feature. The explanation is ideal for class notes and also can easily be replicated as revision for examinations.

    I just came from looking at a map of New Zealand's South Island and wondered how Farewell Spit was formed - So thank you!

      Hi, the aerial photograph of the spit at the end of the video is Farewell spit .

    Great video! This explains it really well. But how is the river involved in the formation of a spit?

    • @cramcrams7741

      It deposits tons of sediment. Silt. Etc.

    • @ImaanMirza
      @ImaanMirza Před 10 měsíci +6

      I'm a bit late, but if anyone wants the answer...
      The river is involved, as a previous user said, to deposit sediment and salt that is collected in the salt marsh. However, it also ensures, through the river's added current, that the spit does not carry on fully to the next headland and form a bar (a coastal feature connecting two headlands together).
      Basically, it keeps the spit a spit, and stops it from forming into a bar.
      Hope this helps! Good luck :)

    the spit should form at the tip of the headland, not at the other side of the headland.
    sending on behalf of 2X of ACS International. They made me do it. I am sorry.

    • @GeographerOnline
      @GeographerOnline  Před 8 lety +9

      Ha ha! Thanks, strictly speaking yes, although you will never find anything in nature to perfectly fit any model :)
      Have a look at Presque isle state park on google maps and you will see a spit formation with no headland at all.

    What stops a spit from turning into a bar? I thought offshore bars can be formed at a mouth of a river or a bay.

    okay, thanks for making these videos, making my revisions easier for my test tomorrow (don’t judge lol) is the headland the same as the mainland though?? I have a diagram in my book and I was wondering if it’s the same

    • @GeographerOnline
      @GeographerOnline  Před 5 lety +2

      The headland is part of the mainland. However, the headland is a coastal feature that is formed by erosion. There is another CZcams on my channel that explains how a headland is formed.

    • @GeographerOnline
      @GeographerOnline  Před 6 lety +3

      The river prevents the spit turning into a bar and it also adds sediment to the salt marsh that is found behind the spit
