Answer:
Regardless of its cause, coastal submergence contributes to land loss in several ways. The most easily recognized effects of submergence are land losses caused by permanent flooding. The passive inundation of the shore typically expands estuaries, lakes, and lagoons at the expense of adjacent uplands and wetlands. The slope of the land surface and rate of sea level rise control the extent of permanent flooding.
