Question

Formation of splits WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST FOR DETAIL ANSWER

Answer 1

Sediment is carried by long-shore drift. When there is a change in the shape of the coastline, deposition occurs. A long thin ridge of material is deposited. This is the spit.  A hooked end can form if there is a change in wind direction.  Waves cannot get past a spit, therefore the water behind a spit is very sheltered. Silts are deposited here to form salt marshes or mud flats.
