Summary[edit | edit source]
| Description |
Geomorphic zonation of rough-water reefs. Both swell- and trade-wind-dominated reefs develop five standard reef zones: lagoon, reef flat, reef front, reef slope, and fore reef (not shown). These zones are delineated by simple slope breaks: the sand slope between lagoon and reef flat, the reef crest between the reef flat and reef front, the shelf break between the reef front and reef slope, and the break between the subvertical lower slope and the talus cones of the fore-reef sediment. These standard zones are divided into several widely occurring subzones, which vary with respect to margin orientation, area, and region. |
