Question 14

Study Figure 2a, a block diagram showing landforms of submergent coastlines. Figure 2a: A block diagram of a submergent coastline. It shows a deeply indented coastline. On the left is a long, narrow, steep-sided inlet with a shallow threshold at its mouth, labelled 'Fjord (flooded glacial valley)'. On the right is a branching, winding inlet with dendritic tributary patterns that is wide at the mouth and shallower inland, labelled 'Ria (flooded river valley)'.

Using Figure 2a and your own understanding, suggest two ways sea level rise has created submergent coastal landforms.
