In this topic, we set the scene for discussing the variety of coastal landforms and landscapes and the major climatic and oceanic forces that shaped them during their geologic history. First, we briefly explore landforms along ice coasts, which have an extent of some tens of thousands of ...
Coastal landforms coastal landform coast tectonic movement, water power, bio-climatic factors such as the role and formed under the action of a variety of landscapes in general. Quaternary glacial and interglacial periods of change, causing significant sea level rise and fall and transgression, regr...
In the United States, we have plenty of different interesting landscapes, from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Lakes. But many of these don't stop at the border; our northern neighbor, Canada, enjoys many of these same features, as well as several of its own. In this lesson, we will...
The northernmost geographic area of Alaska is called the Arctic Coastal Plain. This area lies north of the Rocky Mountain System and slopes gradually toward the Arctic Ocean. This is the land of permafrost (Permanently frozen ground) and no trees can manage to grow in this area. The surface ...
In fact, complex interactions and feedbacks between climate, topography, soils and biotic factors organize the physical and biological features of the landscapes. In addition, large alterations of vegetation and soils by both human and climatic pressures can lead to the loss of important ecosystem ...
particularly current and past climatic conditions. The Mojave Desert in California consists of 1.6 million acres of landscapes that changed over millions of years, including mountains, canyons, volcanic fields and dry lake basins. The region is within a great inland drainage basin where ancient lakes...
They could be consequently considered a collection of representative landforms in Jeju Island. Geomorphological landscapes in the paintings are classified into volcanic, fluvial, coastal and weathering landform. A volcanic edifice appears most ...

In the formation of spits, wave refraction and longshore drift, apart from coastal configuration, play an important role. Beach ridges and chenier plains are indicators of past sea-level changes, climatic conditions, wave regime, and sediment supply. Coastal dunes represent geomorphological landscapes ...
Several erosional and depositional coastal landscapes are represented by steep cliffs, marine terraces, beachrocks, wave-cut platforms and notches. Marine terraces uplifted to several 10s of metres also record relative sea-level changes that occurred since the mid-late Pleistocene. The pattern of the...
