Shoal in rivers, streams, and lakes. A shoal–sandbar may seasonally separate a smaller body of water from the sea, such as: The term "bar" can apply to landform features spanning a considerable range in size, from a length of a few metres in a small stream to marine depositions stretching for hundreds of kilometers along a coastline, often called barrier islands. They are typically composed of sand, although they could be of any granular matter that the moving water has access to and is capable of shifting around (for example, soil, silt, gravel, cobble, shingle, or even boulders).

Campden Tunnel Gravel Pit Campden Tunnel Gravel Pit Campden Tunnel Gravel Pit () is a geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, notified in 1988. The site is listed in the 'Cotswold District' Local Plan 2001-2011 (on line). The site exposes a mixture of gravels, sands and silts which make up the Campden Tunnel Drift (Pleistocene period). These are glacial sediments which fill a deep channel. The melt water is considered to have run from the ice-filled valley of the River Avon (north) to the drainage system of the River Evenlode (south east). This links with the sequence of glacial deposits in the
