This image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Deposition erosion.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Summary

Description
English: Map of Cape Cod showing those shores undergoing erosion (cliffed sections) in yellow, and shores characterized by marine deposition (barriers) in blue. Although the barriers are sites of marine deposition, in the long run, the ocean shore will retreat as the barrier keeps pace with the erosion of cliffed shorelines and as they adjust to sea-level rise.
