Reef : a ridge of jagged rock, coral, or sand just above or below the surface of the sea.

Area of desposition: is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass.

Sand dunes: is a mount, hill or ridge of sand that lies behind the part of the beach affected by tides.

Continental deposit of

gravel and sand:?

Alluvial fan: a triangle-shaped deposit of gravel, sand, and even smaller pieces of sediment

Sand mounds in a desert: is called "sand dunes". A sand dune can be described as a "small mound or ridge" of hill formed out of sand.

Sedimentary dispositional environment : describes the combination of physical, chemical and biological processes associated with the deposition of a particular type of sediment and, therefore, the rock types that will be formed after lithification, if the sediment is preserved in the rock record.

Shoreline deposit of sediments: The coastal environment consists of constantly changing conditions, caused by the forces of wind, waves, currents and tides.

Beach sand:Sand is a loose granular material blanketing the beaches, riverbeds and deserts of the world.

Calcareous skeletons from organisms build this wave-resistant structure: Modern coral reefs are principally made of calcium carbonate that has been derived from coral skeletons and cemented into a wave-resistant structure by coralline algae
