Ingression coast

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An ingression coast, the Archipelago Sea off Naantali ( Finland )

An ingression coast or depressed coast is a generally level coastline that is shaped by the penetration of the sea as a result of crustal movements or a rise in the sea level .

Such coasts are characterised by a subaerially formed relief that has previously experienced little deformation by littoral ( tidal ) processes, because the sea level, which had fallen by more than 100 metres during the last glacial period , did not reach its current level until about 6,000 years ago.

Depending on the geomorphological shaping of the flooded landform ? e.g. glacially or fluvially formed relief ? various types of ingression coast emerge, such as rias , skerry and fjard coasts as well as forde and bodden coasts. [1]
