Coastal Landforms and Processes

Coastal Landforms and Processes Waves, Tides and Shallow Water Processes Littoral Zone Beaches & Seasonal Cycles Barrier Islands Beach Ridges Spits Deltas Coastal Cliffs Marine Terraces Wave-Cut Scarps Sea Level Fluctuations Barrier Island Migration Coastal Diversity 1 Hawaiian coastline Photo source: SCGS Factors Influencing Coastal Geomorphology Wind direct influence: saltation, dunes/blowouts indirect influence: wave generation, ocean circulation setup - setdown Seiches: lakes, estuaries, small seas, created by changes in barometric pressure, violent storms and tides. Storms: tropical, extratropical (Noreasters), storm surges, winds, waves Biology: reef builders, filter feeders, grasses/wetlands etc.

Coastal zone: is defined as the transition zone where the land meets water, the region that is directly influenced by marine hydrodynamic processes. • The coastal zone extends offshore to the continental shelf break and onshore to the first major change in topography above the reach of major storm waves. • The CZ is divided into four subzones:
