Best Answer

spits are the processes of longshore drift, this is where the waves deposit sand down a beach according to prevailing wind, this happens gradually and this sand can stretch around the headlandand out from the shore, the are behind the spit will become a salt marsh as it will get less water, these spits can then extend and join up two parts of the headland (a bar) or a headlant ot an island (a tombolo).
