| Definitionskos:definition | Relict ridges of wave origin, sub to parallel to the open coastline, possibly including wind deposits that collectively form STRANDPLAINS. Active BEACH and shore ridge forms (cf. CURRENT-INDUCED PROCESSES: DUNES –foredune BGU-sT), regardless of their dimensions, shape or origin, are not considered to be BEACH RIDGES by most authors (e.g. Otvos, 2020, modified from 2000). |
