  • on tormilainetusega rannajoonest kõrgemale heidetud kruusast, klibust ja/või veeristest koosnev rannajoonega paralleelne vall. Selle kaugus rannajoonest ja suhteline kõrgus sõltuvad lainetuse intensiivsusest ja sette lõimisest. Tavaliselt on proksimaalne (lainetuse poolne) nõlv laugem kui distaalne. Glatsioisostaatilise kerke aladel võib rannavalle esineda ka kaugemal kaasaegsest rannajoonest. Veetaseme tõusu korral rannavallid ujutatakse üle ja erodeeritakse.
  • is a (storm)wave-deposited on-shore ridge running parallel to a shoreline; composed of sand, gravel and pebble; the height is affected by wave size and energy as well as by grain-size of the material. Commonly the proximal slope (seaward slope) is more gentle compared to lee side of the ridge. Due to post-glacial rebound in formerly glaciated areas beach ridges can be found at the distance of recent coast-line. In case of water-level rise, beach ridges are submerged and eroded.
