<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->
Emergent coasts are a result of local tectonic uplift of the land surface or a fall in the elevation of sea level because of a reduction in the water volume of ocean basins. Quite often, emergent coasts have rocky coastlines with cliffs and nearly flat platforms that extend inland where older coastal plains have been tectonically raised and are now elevated above the modern land and water interface. Eastern Coastal Plains are an example of emergent coast.
