| Abstract: | The formation of beach rocks has a close relationship to storm deposits, denoted by beach and storm processes in association with depositional characteristics of the beach rocks found in Pui O and Lower Cheung Sha bays on the southern coast of Lantau Island, Hong Kong. Although not all beach rocks have an origin of storm deposits, it is certain that some of them with very coarse shells and shell fragments developing on sandy beaches originate from storm deposits. The cementation of beach rocks on a beach was affected directly by the texture and structure of the beach rocks and wave energy varying along the beach. |
