Question:

What is a Concordant Coastline ?

Author: Hannah Wolfendale



Answer:

A concordant coastline occurs where the bands of differing rock types run parallel to the coast. The outer hard provides a protective barrier to erosion of the softer rocks further inland. Sometimes the outer hard rock is punctured allowing the sea to erode the softer rocks behind.
