Spits and tombolos are deposited by reversing tides or wave generated currents.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spits and tombolos are formed by waves and currents that move sediment along the coastline, resulting in the formation of a narrow strip of land that connects the mainland to an offshore island or headland. These features are commonly created by reversing tides or wave-generated currents that transport sediment in a particular direction, which can result in the accumulation of sediment and the formation of a spit or tombolo.
