| Definitions |
continuously active or relict landform pattern built up to the sea level of the present day or of a former time by corals and other organisms. It is mainly level, with moderately inclined to precipitous slopes below the sea level. Stream channels are generally absent, but there may occasionally be fixed, deep, erosional tidal stream channels forming a disintegrated non-tributary pattern. Typical elements: reef flat, lagoon, cliff (submarine). Common elements: beach, beach ridge. |
