Emergent coastlines are stretches along the coast that have been exposed by the sea due to a relative fall in sea levels. This occurs due to either isostacy or eustacy.

Emergent coasts are formed when the land rises relative to sea level. This can happen due to tectonic uplift, isostatic rebound, or a decrease in sea level. The uplifted land creates a coastline that is gradually exposed to the sea, causing the formation of emergent features such as elevated cliffs, terraces, and raised beaches.
