Figure 3.24: Close up view (relative to Figure 3.20) of the wave dominated barrier islands of the North Carolina Outer Banks along the mid-Atlantic eastern coast of the U.S.A. Note the long thin morphologies of the islands and sparseness of tidal inlets that connect the backbarrier environments to the nearshore and beyond.
