Coastal Landscapes and Geology

This document summarises how This document discusses how geological structures like rock type, faulting, folding, and rock dip shape coastal landscapes by influencing erosion rates and forming features such as headlands, cliffs, and bays. It also outlines the physical factors affecting coastal recession including wave energy, tides, weathering, and climate conditions, which determine how quickly coastlines erode. Additionally, it explains the process of plant succession on sand dunes, from pione...
