What is an example of a Tombolo and how do they form? |
St Ninian's Isle is a true tombolo that joins the island to the Shetland Mainland in Scotland.
Tombolos are formed by wave refraction and diffraction. As waves reach an island, they are slowed down 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. |
