A peresyp (пересыпь) or a bay-mouth bar [1] is a narrow sandbar that rises above the water level (like a spit) and separates a liman or a lagoon from the sea. Unlike tombolo bars, a peresyp seldom forms a contiguous strip and usually has one or several channels (called girlo ( гирло ) in Russian) that connect the liman and the sea.
Sediment erosion and deposition dynamics in estuarine region, consequently the formation and growth of mouth bars, are affected by several natural and artificial factors. . Human activities, such as reservoir construction, large-scale reclamation and embankment construction completely disturb the hydrodynamic balance of the system and permanently interfere with the morphology of mouth bars.
Longshore drift from longshore current is a geological process that consists of the transportation of sediments (clay, silt, pebbles, sand, shingle, shells) along a coast parallel to the shoreline, which is dependent on the angle of incoming wave direction. Oblique incoming wind squeezes water along the coast, generating a water current that ...
The Sandwich Town Neck beach project is the biggest in New England, preventing storm damage to neighborhoods, businesses, and the historic district.
Bay – Recessed, coastal body of water connected to an ocean or lake; Baymouth bar – low and narrow strip of alluvial land made from sand or pebbles; Bayou – Body of water in flat, low-lying areas; Beach – Area of loose particles at the edge of the sea or other body of water
A bar in a river is an elevated region of sediment (such as sand or gravel) that has been deposited by the flow. Types of bars include mid-channel bars (also called braid bars and common in braided rivers ), point bars (common in meandering rivers ), and mouth bars (common in river deltas ).
Erosion is a natural response to storm activity. During storms, sand from the visible beach submerges to form sand bars that protect the beach. Submersion is only part of the cycle. During calm weather, smaller waves return sand from bars to the visible beach surface in a process called accretion.
Pinellas County health officials warned beachgoers not to get in the water just as Labor Day weekend kicked off. The department issued a no-swim advisory for Clearwater Beach, Mandalay Park and ...
