These environments have sediment supplied by rivers and the sediment gets deposited just below sea level due to the rapid decrease in flow speed as rivers enter the oceans. The overall geometry and characteristics of shore lines are generally determined by several factors.

Rivers carve into a shoreline when sea level is low, creating valleys of various widths depending on the sediment transport capacity of the river, the ease with which the near-shore rocks or sediments can be eroded, and the duration of the low sea level.

The water in estuaries is mixed because they are fed by rivers but also connection with oceans. Estuaries have a barrier to the sea, similar to lagoons, that protects them from ocean energy, but, unlike lagoons, estuaries still connect with the sea. Because of this connection with the sea, estuaries are strongly influenced by tides.
