| has gloss | eng: A feeder bluff is a geomorphological term whose use is primarily restricted to the Puget Sound region. It is not a standard or widely-accepted geologic term. The concept of a feeder bluff was first developed at Western Washington University, and it has not been extensively researched. Specific criteria have not been developed that distinguish feeder bluffs from other types of bluffs. Quantities and rates of sediment supply to beaches and the littoral drift are unspecified and unknown. The overall contribution of "feeder bluffs" to beach processes, unlike the well-researched effects of sediment from rivers, is still undetermined. |
