Why does a recurved spit develop a curved end?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because change in wind or wave direction bends the end
A spit grows when longshore drift carries sediment along the coast and deposits it beyond a projecting shoreline. If the prevailing wave or wind direction changes near the end, sediment is transported along a new curve rather than continuing straight ahead. This produces a recurved hook-like tip, making option B correct. Complete tidal stoppage, glacier pressure, and karst solution do not explain this coastal form.
