Coastal Geography

This document provides information about coastal geography concepts. It discusses coastal landforms such as caves, bars, and spits that are formed by erosion. Longshore drift is identified as the main cause for the formation of barrier islands, and occurs from the southwest to the northeast as a result of oblique wave approach. Economic impacts on coastal areas are also mentioned.
