One of the main problems in the design of these coastal structures is the prediction of the shoreline response. The empirical approach requires an a priori assumption of the shape of the shoreline. Empirical an
An older, western section of the cordillera in Canada is associated with closure of an oceanic basin located off the west coast of the North American craton during the Mid Jurassic. A younger, eastern section of the Rocky Mountains developed from folding and thrusting associated with the Late ...

The conical landforms have developed on cylindrical bodies of fluidized sandstone (clastic pipes) that...
rose to the height of modern sea levels, forming the basic contours of modern coasts and forming various coastal landforms. During the shaping of coastal geomorphology, the tectonic movement laid the foundation. On this basis, wave action, tidal ...
