BAR (0. Fr. barre, Late Lat. barra, origin unknown)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 378 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BAR (0. Fr. barre, Late Lat. barra, origin unknown) , in
physical
  geography, a
ridge
  of sand or silt
crossing
  an estuary under water or raised by wave action above sea-level, forming an impedimentto navigation. When a river enters a tidal sea its rate of flow is checked and the material it carries in suspension is deposited in a shifting bar
crossing
  the channel from bank to bank. Where the channel is only partly closed, a spur of this
character
  is called a "
spit
 ." A bar may be produced by tidal action oily in an estuary or narrow gulf (as at Port Adelaide) where the tides sweep the loose sand backwards and forwards, depositing it where the motion of the water is checked. Nahant Bay,
Mass
 ., is bordered by the
ridge
  of
Lynn
 
Beach
 , which separates it from
Lynn
  Harbor, and ties Nahant to the mainland by a bar formed in this way.
