Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

Whether the shoreline is submergent or emergent.

Introduction:

The shoreline is the area where a huge water body like a river or lake joins the land. The emergent shorelines are different than submerged shorelines. The emergent shorelines experience gradual fall in sea levels.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The features of shoreline in the image given in the book.

Introduction:

The action of waves along the rocky shore forms sea cliffs. Sea arches are those which are eroded from the center due to their rock softness.

Summary Introduction

c.

To determine:

The location of highest marine terrace and label it as X.

Introduction:

The formation of the marine terrace is due to coastal erosion. Marine terrace has seen along with coastlines. The area with sinking land causes marine terrace to get submerged.
