Kasaragod coastal marine deposits of Kerala, the abode of God on the Arabian Sea has stepwise elevation with clear differences of relief features. Various surface structures on the intertidal sand flat are the characteristic and indicative of wave influence. Conical dome like bioturbation structure of Olivancillaria sp. on the intertidal zone has the significant role in reproducing the beach morphology. It is observed from this study area that both physical and biological processes are important to differentiate the sea beach morphology.

Abstract


Kasaragod coastal marine deposits of Kerala, the abode of God on the Arabian Sea has stepwise elevation with clear differences of relief features. Various surface structures on the intertidal sand flat are the characteristic and indicative of wave influence. Conical dome like bioturbation structure of Olivancillaria sp. on the intertidal zone has the significant role in reproducing the beach morphology. It is observed from this study area that both physical and biological processes are important to differentiate the sea beach morphology.
