A perched coastline refers to a coastal area where the land is elevated above the normal sea level due to geological processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, or sediment deposition. This phenomenon can create unique landforms and habitats. In a perched coastline, the shoreline might be situated on a terrace or ledge that is higher than the adjacent sea level, often resulting in steep cliffs or bluffs overlooking the ocean.
