As a result, some of this region has recently been uplifted and exhibits characteristics of an emergent coastline. On the other hand, because of the general rise in sea level over the past several thousand years, other areas exhibit features associated with submergent coastlines. Refer to this topographic map to complete the following. 1. What type of shoreline feature is Drakes Estero (located near the center of the map)? 2. Point Reyes, located in the bottom-left corner of the map, is a headland undergoing severe wave erosion. What type of feature is Chimney Rock, located off the shore of Point Reyes? 3.

As you complete the following questions, assume that waves with a wavelength of 60 feet are approaching the shoreline from the bottom left of the figure. 1. At approximately what water depth-10, 20, 30, or 40 feet-will the approaching waves begin to touch bottom and slow down? (Hint: Recall that this occurs when the water depth is one-half the wavelength.) 2. Using the wave shown in Figure 12.2 as a starting point, sketch a series of lines to illustrate the wave refraction that will occur as the wave approaches the shore by following these steps:Step 1: Mark the position on the 30-foot contour line where the wave front will first touch bottom.Step 2: Knowing that the section of the wave that touches bottom will slow down first, sketch the shape of the wave front when it reaches the 20-foot contour line.Step 3: Using the same…arrow_forward
