Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Uplifted marine terraces are wave cut platforms formed by the erosion of rock associated with cliff retreat. The process of cliff retreat involves the undercutting of the base of a cliff by waves, which causes it to collapse and retreat inland. As this process continues over time, a wave cut platform is formed, which is a relatively flat, gently sloping surface that lies beneath the level of the sea. Over time, uplift or tectonic activity may cause the wave-cut platform to rise above the sea level, forming an uplifted marine terrace.
