Hello, Lindaparker, a spit could form from a rocky headland where prevailing winds would
blow at an angle to the rocky headland, gradually depositing sand and
shingle at that place. A spit is a permanent land form resulting
from marine deposition and wind deposition. It is usually a long and
narrow accumulation of sand or shingle with one joined to the land and
the other end projecting at a narrow angle out into the sea. Salt marshes sometimes form on the sheltered side of a spit.
