Coastal Processes - For the final lectures of this course, we will focus on Parks that are along coasts. We'll first give background on coastal processes, and then will review parks we've seen and will discuss some new ones. Land surface rose relative to sea level. Get uplifted shorelines, cliffs.
Land surface sinks relative to sea level.
Water invades the landscape. Submerged glacial valleys. May have beaches, but these are being eaten away. Sediment is supplied faster than it's removed, so the coast builds out. Typically have a broad belt of sediment.
