| Definitionskos:definition | A relict landform comprising mostly wave-transported sedimentary material preserved above and landward of the active shoreline. RAISED BEACHES are distinguished here from raised SHOREFACE TERRACES on the basis that the former are solely the product of physical depositional mechanisms, whereas the latter have a broader genesis that may incorporate depositional, erosional and/or BIOGENIC PROCESSES (modified from Goudie, 2006). |
