  • Identifying Non-Depositional Shoreline Features: A Comprehensive Guide
    Here's how to break down the question and determine the answer:

    Depositional Shoreline Features

    These are landforms created by the accumulation of sediments transported by waves and currents along a shoreline. Examples include:

    * Beaches: The most obvious, consisting of sand, gravel, or shells.

    * Spits: Narrow, elongated ridges of sand extending out from the shoreline.

    * Tombolos: Sandbars connecting an island to the mainland.

    * Barrier Islands: Long, narrow islands paralleling the coast, separated from the mainland by lagoons.

    * Deltas: Landforms formed where rivers deposit sediment at their mouths.

    What's NOT a Depositional Feature?

    The answer lies in understanding what *isn't* created by sediment deposition.

    * Sea Cliffs: These are steep, rocky cliffs formed by erosion, not deposition.

    Therefore, the answer is: Sea Cliffs
