Which landform feature forms when longshore drift connects an island to the mainland?

💡 Explanation

Tombolo formation occurs because longshore drift deposits sediment, creating a strip of land connected to the mainland ( tombolo formation). This process transports material , therefore, land accretes from drift rather than from an isolated event.
