These terms are referred to in the legal community as accretion, erosion and avulsion. âAccretionâ is the term which applies to the gradual increase or acquisition of land by the action of natural forces washing up sand, soil or silt from the water course or seashore.

However, the sudden and often very perceptible change to a shoreline by natural forces is referred to as âavulsion.â Hurricanes, norâeasters and other storms are typically credited with causing avulsion.
