Question

Explain Submergence​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A change in the relative levels of water and land either from a sinking of the land or a rise of the water level.

Submergent coastlines are sections of the littoral zone where sea level rise inundated areas that were previously part of terrestrial land. They are found in southern England and the east coast of America.

Areas of land adjacent to ice covered regions experience isostatic uplift during the Devensian due to the see-saw effect. These are now subsiding due to post-glacial adjustment - producing marine transgression and emerging coastlines
