What is a coastal plain estuary?

A coastal plain is an area of flat, low-lying land next to a coastline, that is separated from the interior land by other features.


When boating on coastal water it is important to be aware of the tides.if high tide is at noon when can you expect the next low tide?

There are approximately 4 tides per day...two high, and two low. Actually, there are 4 tides every 24 hours and 50 minutes, so high tides occur every 12 hours and 25 minutes. Low tides occur in the alternate 12 hours and 25 minutes. If you have a high tide at noon, you could expect the next low tide 6 hours and 12.5 minutes later.


When was the last time a volcano erupted in Auckland?

It is not possible to predict when the next volcanic eruption will occur in Auckland. Eruptions in this area occur when a bubble of magma rises to the surface, and this means there is no way to know where or when the next eruption will occur. An eruption is not likely to be large, but because it will affect a significant urban area, the effects of even a small eruption will be great. The area is monitored to give as much warning as possible.


What features of the coastal plains make it an popular region?

A coastal plain is a lowland area adjacent to the sea, which may have formed from marine sediments which have subsequently been revealed by a fall in sea level, as in the southeastern coast of the USA. The coastal plain is an extensive, low-relief area that is bounded by the sea on one side and by some type of relatively high-relief province on thelandward side. The geologic province of the coastal plain actually extends beyond the shoreline across the continental shelf. It is only during times of glacial melting and high sea level that much of the coastal plain is drowned. The coastal plain is a geologic province that is linked to the stable part of a continent on the trailing edge of a plate. The extent and nature of the coastal plains of the world range widely. Some are very large and old, whereas others are small and geologically young. For example, the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States are among the largest in the world. In some areas the coastal plain is hundreds of kilometre wide and extends back about 100 million years. By contrast, local coastal plains in places like the east coast of Australia and New Zealand are only 1 or 2 million years old and extend only tens of kilometers landward from the shoreline. The typical character of a coastal plain is one of stratum that dip gently and uniformly toward the sea. There may be low ridges that are essentially parallel to the coast and that have developed from erosion of alternating resistant and nonresistant strata. These strata are commonly a combination of mudstone-1, sandstone, and limestone, although the latter is typically a subordinate amount of the total. These strata resulted from deposition in fluvial, deltaic, and shelf environments as sea level advanced and retreated over this area. Coastal plain strata have been a source of considerable oil and gas as well as various economic minerals. Although the coastal plain province is typically stable tectonically, there may be numerous normal faults and salt dome intrusions.
