Eustatic and Isostatic changes in sea-level including landforms of emergence and submergence. Play your landforms right plenary too!

1. Sea-Level Change

2. Sea-levels are predicted to rise by 1m this century (by 2100). Why?

7. Rias Rias are submerged river valleys. The lowest part of the river’s course and the floodplains alongside the river may be completely drowned, but the higher land remains exposed, e.g. Kingsbridge Estuary, Devon

9. Fjords Fjords are submerged glacial valleys. They have steep, cliff-like valley sides and the water is uniformly deep (often 1000m in depth). These were formed when glaciers eroded below sea-level. When the ice melted the valleys were flooded, e.g. Milford Sound fjord, New Zealand

12. Raised Beaches Raised beaches, e.g. Little Gruinard, Ullapool are areas of former wave-cut platforms and their beaches which are left at a higher level than the present coastline. Abandoned cliffs, caves and stacks can also be found.
