estuário formado pela movimento da maré/pela variação do nível do mar

Explanation:
Uma definição de estuário bastante usada na oceanografia é a de Pritchard(1955) e Cameron
& Pritchard(1963):
"Estuário, é um corpo de água costeiro, semifechado, com uma ligação livre com o oceano aberto, no interior do qual a água do mar é mensuravelmente diluída pela água doce oriunda da drenagem continental".
As forças geradoras dos movimentos dentro do estuário são o fluxo de água doce proveniente do interior do estuário e a entrada e saída de água do oceano adjacente ao estuário ocasionada pela variação do nível do mar do local. A grande força dissipativa do estuário é a força gerada pelo atrito o leito do estuário e suas laterais além do atrito gerado entre as massas de água de diferentes densidades que interagem no estuário.
