Ingression Coast
Ingression coast , also lowering coast , is the name for a mostly flat ground, coast caused by the penetration of the sea due to crustal movements , or an increase in sea levels produced.
These coasts are characterized by a subaerically created relief that has so far undergone little transformation by littoral ( tidal ) processes, as the sea level, which fell by more than 100 meters during the last glacial period, only reached its present level around 6,000 years ago.
According to the geomorphological characteristics of the flooded landform - z. B. glacial or fluvial shaped relief - different types of ingression coasts emerged, z. B. Rias , archipelago - and fjard coasts and fjords - and Bodden coasts.
