Emerged Coastline
Coastal areas where relative sea level change has been negative, exposing previously submerged surfaces and creating distinctive geomorphological features.
Real World
The west coast of Scotland displays a striking series of raised beaches — flat rock platforms sitting 8–10 metres above the current shoreline — left behind as isostatic uplift exceeded eustatic rise since the last ice age.
Exam Focus
Name specific landform evidence (raised beach, relict cliff) to support points; vague answers lose credit on 'describe' questions.
