    The document summarizes different features of Somalia's coastal belt. It describes (A) red dunes near Merka village with fans at the dune base and gully erosion. The dune surface slopes towards a plain. (B) The top of the Merka dunes are covered by mobile sand dunes formed by monsoon winds sloping towards the same plain. (C) The coast near Mogadishu has been altered by man, including a flat shoreline, wave-cut reef, and a quarry often flooded at high tide. (D) South of Mogadishu, the coast includes seagrass beds, mobile sandy areas, coarse berms, and a flat backshore showing effects

    Fig. 5.

    Features of the coastal belt: (A) Merka red dune complex at the back of the village of Merka: (a) coalescent eluvial fans grown at base of the dune wall; (b) gully erosion of the steep dune wall; (c) top surface of the dune gently dipping towards the Uebi Shebeli alluvial plain. (B) Top surface of the Merka red dune covered by a mobile dune field: (a) poorly cemented sandstone showing a badland morphology; (b) mobile quartzose sand accumulated by monsoon winds; (c) Uebi Shebeli alluvial plain. (C) Man induced large-scale alteration of the coast near Mogadishu: (a) nearshore abraded flat; (b) wave notch in Pleistocene raised coral reef complex; (c) quarry surface often flooded during high tide. (D) Zonation of a flat coastal area south of Mogadishu: (a) Thalassodendron seagrass bed; (b) mobile sandy bottom; (c) coarse berm deposit; (d) flat backshore area, in places showing the effects of evaporative pumping of groundwater (white areas)
