How can a spit form from a rocky headland?
When waves hit a rocky headland, they erode softer rock faster than harder rock, creating a wave-cut platform. Over time, continued erosion may cause the headland to narrow, eventually forming a spit as sediment is deposited from longshore drift. The spit continues to grow as sediment accumulates and is shaped by wave action.
How does spit form on a rocy headland?
Spit formation on a rocky headland occurs through a combination of wave action and sediment transport. As waves approach the coastline, they carry sediment and erode the land, depositing material in a process known as longshore drift. When the prevailing currents encounter a change in the coastline, such as a rocky headland, the sediment accumulates, gradually extending outwards to form a spit. Over time, the spit can grow as more sediment is deposited, creating a landform that extends into the water.
