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.
