A raised shoreline refers to a geological feature where a former shoreline is elevated above the current sea level. This phenomenon typically occurs due to a combination of tectonic activities, such as uplift of the land, and changes in sea level. Raised shorelines can be identified in various forms such as cliffs, terraces, or platforms, and they may contain marine sediments, fossils, or other evidence of past marine environments.
