Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coast extends inland from the high tide level to the first major landform change, such as a cliff or steep slope. This is known as the coastal zone and includes the foreshore (the portion of the beach exposed during low tide), backshore (the part of the beach above the high tide line), and nearshore (the area of water adjacent to the beach). The trough between the primary and secondary dune and the highest water line during a storm are more specific features and do not represent the overall extent of the coast inland.
