Coastal geography

Coastal geography is about the land and water where the beach and ocean meet. Imagine standing on a beach and looking out towards the water. You can see the waves coming in and out, and sometimes birds or fish or seaweed.

This area where the land and water meet is important because it affects many things like weather, erosion (when sand or rocks get moved away), and habitats (where animals live).

The coastal geography includes many different features like cliffs, coves, dunes, estuaries (where freshwater meets saltwater), and tidal pools (where water gets trapped and small creatures live).

People also live near the coast and rely on it for things like fishing or tourism. Coastal geography helps us understand the environment better so we can protect it and enjoy it!
