Why are coastal landscapes diferent from each other? And what features make them
diferent?
Stair hole- where the sea has eroded the frst laaer of hard rock on a concordant coast to
reach the sof rockk Eventualla this will form a covek
Submergent coastlines- Sea levels rise and food coastlinesk
Emergent coastlines- happens due to isostatc change (tectonic) land rises due to something
