 Figure 2. Provincetown Spit, at the northern end of Cape Cod, was formed by longshore drift after the end of the last Ice age. |
Longshore drift consists of the transportation of sediments (clay, silt and sand) along a coast at an angle to the shoreline, which is dependent on prevailing wind direction, swash and backwash. This process occurs in the littoral zone, and in or within close proximity to the surf zone. The process is also known as longshore transport or littoral drift.
