The evolution of Jumpinpin Inlet Appendix A. Glossary of terms In any discussion on coastal engineering an agreement of the meaning of terms is necessary. Provided here are definitions of terms used in this report. Although the terms came from many sources, the Shore Protection Manual (SPM, 1984) was of particular value. Accretion – A slow addition to land by deposition of a water-borne sediment (growth or increase in size by gradual external addition). Aeolian – Relating to or caused by winds. Bar – A submerged or emerged embankment of sand, gravel or other unconsolidated material built on the sea floor in shallow water by waves and currents. Barrier island – Elongated island, parallel to shore and separated from the mainland by a bay, lagoon or marsh area. Beach profile – Surveyed cross-section of a beach (see Figure A.1). Berm – Flat beach at the top of wave uprush, reached only by higher storm waves. Channel – A natural or artificial waterway of perceptible extent which either periodically or continuously contains moving water, or which forms a connecting link between two bodies of water. Coast – A strip of land of indefinite width (maybe several kilometres) that extends from the shoreline inland to the first major change in terrain features. Coastline – The line that forms the boundary between the land and the water. Continental shelf – The zone bordering a continent and extending from the low water line to the depth (usually about 180 m) where there is a marked or rather steep descent toward a greater depth. Current – A flow of water. Current, Ebb – The tidal current away from shore or down a tidal stream. Usually associated with the decrease in the height of the tide. Current, Flood – The tidal current toward shore or up a tidal stream. Usually associated in the increase in the height of the tide. Current, Tidal – The alternating horizontal movement of water associated with the rise and fall of the tide caused by the astronomical tide-producing forces. Cyclone, Extra tropical (ETC) – An area of low pressure around which the winds flow in a clockwise direction in the southern hemisphere, specifically with associated cold fronts, warm fronts and occluded fronts (also know as baroclinic storms). Downdrift – The directing of predominant movement of littoral materials (sediment). Fetch – The distance travelled by waves with no obstruction. Geomorphology – That branch of both physiography and geology which deals with the form of the earth, the general configuration of its surface, and the changes that take place in the evolution of landform. Indurated sand – Sand hardened to the consistency of soft rock. 63
