The Carolina Bays originated as inclined conical cavities, so generally, they have a mathematically elliptical geometry. The shape of the bay may be modified by the conditions of the terrain at the time of emplacement, or it may be modified later by erosive processes or ground movement. This presentation discusses the mechanism of formation of the almond-shaped bays near Wilson, South Carolina.
