Spits form as a result of deposition by longshore drift, which is the movement of sand along the coast by the waves. The spit is formed when any material that is being carried by the waves gets deposited due to a loss of the waves energy, this could be because of a change of wind direction, or an estuary in the opposing direction slowing it down. As time progresses the deposited material forms a spit.
sandbars are formed by deposition. When the energy of motion in water tires out, the water will deposit the sediments and it will create a sandbar
sandpits are formed from mud. Enough said sandpits are formed from mud. Enough said
Any type of structure formed by deposition, example , sandbars, island - deltas, riffles ( formed across the flow, as opposed to with the flow), which is a character of most mountain streams , and form almost dam like structures.
Sandbars are common features of shorelines all over the world. They provide a scenic feature for boaters and swimmers, but a danger as well, as their shape and location constantly change and they are revealed and hidden by tidal action. Some basic knowledge about how sandbars form and endure can help boaters prepare themselves to safely navigate them
Sand spits form when elongated sandbars remain in place due to wave action along a shoreline. The spit can remain attached to the shore as an isthmus, or a bar can be separated to form a barrier island. Tombolos can create the same form but in the opposite manner. An island near the shore accumulates sandbars in the separating strait, and can become a "tied island" when the tombolo creates a permanent land bridge.
Glacial lake - 1. From glacial region 2. Eg. Mansarovar lake Tectonic lake - 1. From fractures and Faults in earth crust 2. Eg. Wular lake and Dal lake. Lagoon lake - 1. From deposition of sandbars. 2. Eg. Chilika, pulicat Man made lakes - 1. Formed when rivers are demand for generation of electricity. 2. Eg. GobindSagar
Landforms are formed via a number of different processes. Tectonic activity: mountains and volcanoes including volcanic islands, rifts, sea floor, etc. Erosion: e.g. wave action creating coastal landforms like bays, sea cliffs, wave-cut platforms, caves, stacks, etc. Deposition: beaches, deltas, sandbars, etc. And many more, but basically by tectonic activity, erosion, and deposition, usually in various combinations, like a mesa formed by tectonic activity uplifting the land and erosion of the newly exposed strata shaping it. There are also biological activities, like the creation of coral reefs.
yes
They have all been formed by Sandblasting

Yes, that is very much true.
The three features formed by wave deposition is spits, beach, and sandbars.
The three features formed by wave deposition is spits, beach, and sandbars.
Spits, beach, and sandbars (barrier beaches)
The "sand dunes and deltas" are similar to that they are both "formed by weathering".
They have all been formed by Sandblasting
Over time the silt changes the shape of the river as it is formed into islands, sandbars, and river bends
Sandbars are ridges of sand that formed in rivers and along shores because of the movement of waves in the water. A sandbar beneath shallow water cause, breaks in the waves, sometimes with unusual force. The shape and size of sandbars can change over time.
Sandbars and sand dunes are both sand piled on top of sand by the pressure of currents. Sandbars are accomplished by the action of water currents (waves). Sand dunes by air currents (wind).
