EVALUATION OF BEACH MORPHOLOGY

Many Researchers have made their attempts to study on different aspects like erosional and depositional environments, energy conditions and grain size statistics to understand the sedimentary processes along the world beaches (Shepard and Young, 1960; Friedman, 1967; Visher, 1969; Passega and Byramjee, 1969; Sonu, 1972; Passega, 1977; Komar, 1977; Nordstrom, 1977; Stapor and May, 1983; Wright and Short, 1984; Mc Laren and Bowles, 1985; Dubois, 1988; Pye and Neal, 1994 and Ngusaru, 1995). Coastal placer mineral concentration and their occurrences along the world beaches are reported by May (1973), Woolsey et al., (1975), Mitra and Ahmad (1990), Frihy and Dewidar (1993) and Mitra and Ahmad (1995).
