1061: 144:. As waves near an island, they are slowed by the shallow water surrounding it. These waves then bend around the island to the opposite side as they approach. The wave pattern created by this water movement causes a convergence of longshore drift on the opposite side of the island. The beach sediments that are moving by lateral transport on the lee side of the island will accumulate there, conforming to the shape of the wave pattern. In other words, the waves sweep sediment together from both sides. Eventually, when enough sediment has built up, the beach shoreline, known as a spit, will connect with an island and form a tombolo. 1080: 1045: 1116: 985: 1853: 1100: 1004: 1023: 46: 27: 1860: 2322: 1160: 1146: 196:
Because of this susceptibility to weathering, tombolos are sometimes made more sturdy through the construction of roads or parking lots. The sediments that make up a tombolo are coarser towards the bottom and finer towards the surface. It is easy to see this pattern when the waves are destructive and

may also contribute to accretion, as material is pushed up with rising sea levels. Tombolos are more prone to natural fluctuations of profile and area as a result of tidal and weather events than a normal beach is.
1060: 172:, while the strip of beach material connected to the island may be technically called a tombolo because it links the island to the land, it is better thought of in terms of its formation as a 1079: 1115: 984: 1250: 1440: 560: 188:. A small piece of land, such as an island, or a beached shipwreck can change the way that waves move, leading to different deposition of sediments. 1022: 507: 1481: 1508: 1044: 2346: 1434: 1391: 1314: 1244: 414: 2361: 1332:"Hydrodynamic modeling with scenario approach in the evaluation of dredging impacts on coastal erosion in Santos (Brazil)" 2204: 1476: 1289: 1099: 160:, the flow of material is along the coast in a movement which is not determined by wave diffraction around the now 2209: 1501: 782: 2302: 2194: 1852: 1224: 1003: 2064: 1991: 1896: 1859: 772: 280: 1416: 684: 1921: 973:
