Learning GOAL You will analyze photographs of coastal Jandforms to infer some of the processes at work and die t
that affect these processes.
Refer to the photographs of coastlines in Fig. 16.1 and the list of factors affecting coastlines on pages 414 and 416-
or each of the following coastal areas (see Fig. 16.1, describe tthe type of geologic material(s) that are along the coastline n
Visible. Then name two or three important factors that determine the characteristics of the coastline.
(a) Maryland coastline with salt marsh grasses rooted in clay
(b) San Francisco, California, coastline
(c) Oregon coastline
(d) North Carolina coastline
(e) Destin, Florida, urbanized coastline
(f) Florida Keys coastline with mangrove plants
(g) Maine coastline (note person for scale)
(h) Caribbean island coastline with fringing reefs (i.e., reefs attached to the island) and a barrier reef
B REFLECT & DISCUSS
1. Which of the eight coastlines shown in Fig. 16.1 is building out or expanding into the water, and what is causing that to
happen?
2. Which coastline gives you the impression that the people who live there are not very concerned about rising sea level?
Along which coastline(s) will the average position of the coastline on a map change the most when sea level rises by a few
meters?
