Muddy coast builders

A river carries tiny grains of mud and sand down to the sea. Ocean currents push that mud along the shore, where it settles and slowly makes new muddy ground.

In the picture

  1. the muddy water spreading from the river mouth
  2. the brown band of mud drifting along the shore
  3. a young tree growing in the fresh mud

Examples

  • Mud left on a path after a heavy rainstorm.
  • Sand piling up in a river bend after a flood.
