Forelands
Forelands are coastal landforms that project into a body of water, often creating a distinctive point or headland. They are typically formed through the processes of erosion and sediment deposition, where waves and currents shape the land over time. Forelands can serve as important habitats for various marine and terrestrial species.
These landforms are often found at the mouths of rivers or along coastlines, providing natural protection for bays and estuaries. Forelands can also be significant for navigation, as they help mark safe passage for vessels. Examples of forelands include Cape Cod in the United States and Land's End in the United Kingdom.
