Description: | Oblique aerial view of the River Tyne. Looking east. East Lothian. Estuary sedimentation. Geomorphologically, the estuary zone is closely related to river flood plains. Coastal inlets usually have three zones, above high water mark is salt marsh, between high and low water are tidal flats, normally bare of vegetation and dissected by channel floors and lastly the channel floors themselves, these are below low water mark. The latter two are represented on this view. From the point of view of coastal morphology, the most important forms of the subtidal zone are the channel systems caused by ebb and flood tidal channels separated by bars often sigmoidal in shape. |
