A submergent coastline is a type of coastline that forms when sea levels rise or land levels sink, leading to the inundation of previously exposed land. This process can happen due to various factors, including rising sea levels caused by climate change, tectonic activity, or land subsidence. As a result, features of a submergent coastline often include drowned river valleys, estuaries, and fjords.
