Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Chesil Beach. Looking towards Portland. Chesil Beach is a barrier beach formed by rising sea levels during the Flandrian Transgression at the end of the last glacial period. This pushed up the loose material from the rivers and tundra areas that extended to 45m below current sea levels to form Chesil Beach and other bars such as Slapton Sands 69722. Chesil Beach happens to connect the mainland to an island so is often referred to as a tombolo but the formation mechanism for most tombolos is convergent long shore drift each side of an island, creating a spit perpendicular to the island 19368, then a bar covered at high tide 817047 and then a full tombolo 124766 and 28267.
