Abstract

Abstract Accumulation forms develop where local conditions encourage deposition, and they are therefore common where obstacles interrupt longshore flow, there is a sudden change in the direction of the coast, and in sheltered, wave shadow zones between islands and the mainland. Primary accumulation features also create conditions that may cause secondary, or induced, forms to develop. A number of factors complicate their development, including erosion and retreat of the coast to which they are attached, and changes in relative sea level, wave energy and direction, and sediment supply (Zenkovitch 1967).
