Coastal landforms are genetically linked to specific processes: shore platforms form by water-level (wave abrasion) weathering at the intertidal zone; marine terraces are uplifted (relict) shore platforms now standing above modern sea level, indicating a former higher relative sea level (or subsequent tectonic uplift); and strand plains form by seaward sediment accretion (progradation) building a series of parallel beach ridges.
Matching each landform to its associated process: (A) Shore platforms form through (F) water-level weathering — wave-driven abrasion and bio-erosion concentrated at the intertidal/water-level zone...
