Which factor is dominant in spit formation on a coast?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Deposition of sand along the coast by longshore drift
A spit is a narrow ridge or bar of sand and shingle projecting from a coast, commonly across a bay or estuary. Longshore drift transports sediment parallel to the shoreline, and when the coastline changes direction or energy falls, the material is deposited outward to build the spit. Glacial plucking, limestone solution, and river-bed abrasion are different processes, so B is correct.
