The Burullus coastal area can be geomorphologically divided I into: beach, backshore plain, barrier, tidal inlet and deltaic zones. It shows several landforms characteristic for marine, riverine and aeolian processes. These include: I. Shore landforms: represented by foreshore slop, backshore flats and sand barrier. 2. Lake landforms: represented by shallow lake or lagoon, islands, inlets and shorelines. 3. Aeolian landforms: represented by sand sheets and sand dunes. 4. Riverine landforms: represented by interdistributary margin deposits, these include; subaqueous and subaerial natural levees, paleochannels and crevasse splays. Furthermore, the primary sedimentary structures are studied in the beach, inlet, sand barrier, sand dunes and southern coast of the lake. The hydrodynamic conditions responsible for the origin and distribution of various internal structures in the above environments are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
