Sand deposited in a long ridge extending out from a coast connected to land is A barrier spit B lagoon C bay barrier D tombolo?
This is the definition of a "barrier spit". (A tombolo is a sandbar that connects the mainland to an island, forming a permanent or temporary isthmus, and the island can be known as a "tied island".)
How the circumference of a circle and perimeter of a polygon are alike?

How are trapezoids and triangles alike?
The only way they are both alike as if they a equilateral.
What is a land extending into the sea beyond the rest of the shoreline?
They're known as spits, if they are merely pieces of land unattached to a second island. However, when they become attached, they form a tombolo.
How are a sand spit and a tombolo alike?
Sand spits and tombolos are both coastal landforms formed by the deposition of sediment carried by currents and waves. A sand spit is a narrow finger of land that extends into a body of water, while a tombolo is a ridge of sand that connects an island to the mainland. Both features can change over time due to wave action and shifting sediment.
What is the difference between tombolo and a spit?
a tombolo is a spit that joins the mainland to an island
What is a tom bolo?
What is a Tombolo?
How is burgh island tombolo formed?
Tombolo's are ridges of sand and shingle which join the mainland to an island. Tombolo's are created through the process of longshore drift. Where there is a change in the shape of the land, a spit forms in the shallow / sheltered water. A tombolo is formed where the spit continues to grow until it reaches an island, forming a link with the mainland
How are spit and trombolo alike?
When you have longshore currents that transport the sand along a beach, they can create a spit where there is a projection along the coast. Spits develop from a wave train that is oblique to the shore causeing the sand to be deposited longitudinally projecting from the protruding point on the shore. They are attached to the shore at one end. Trombolos can occur when currents create a bar from the beach out of a large quantity of oceanic sediment called a stack. A trombolo is somewhat like a large ripple created from the stack accumulation. The are alike in a general sense of oceanic deposits but are very different in that the currents are oblique (tombolo) and more perpindicular (spit).
Where is a tombolo located?
it is lake in a strange island
How is a burgh island tombolo formed?
A tombolo is formed when a sand spit or barrier beach connects an island to the mainland. In the case of Burgh Island, sediment is deposited by waves and currents to gradually build up the sand spit, creating the tombolo. Over time, the continuous deposition and redistribution of sediment help to form this landform.
How do spits develop?
Spits develop through the deposition of sediment by longshore drift, which is the movement of sediment along the shoreline caused by waves and currents. Over time, this sediment accumulates and extends outward into the water, forming a narrow, elongated strip of land that is typically oriented in the direction of the prevailing waves and currents. Vegetation such as grasses and shrubs can then colonize the spit and help to stabilize it.
