remains barren. The light tone quality of this unvegetated sandy-silty
material generally yields a conspicuous contrast with the surroundings.
This is clearly detectable, particularly on large-scale air photographs
together with the ridge distribution pattern and morphology. Conse
quently, air photo interpretation may reveal coastal microrelief.
