= Cuspate foreland
{wiki=Cuspate_foreland}
A cuspate foreland is a coastal landform that protrudes into the sea, typically characterized by a pointed or triangular shape. It usually forms at the mouth of a river or where two opposing currents meet, leading to the accumulation of sediment due to the processes of erosion and deposition. The formation of cuspate forelands is influenced by various factors, including wave action, tidal currents, and the availability of sediment.
