A coast is the area where land meets the sea or ocean.
Coastlines are changing all the time as new waves roll in and out and tides rise and fall every six hours or so. Over longer periods coastlines are reshaped by the action of waves and the corrosion of salty water.
Canada is the country with the longest coastline (152,100 miles) and Monaco has the shortest coastline (3.5 miles).
The human influence on climate change is thought to be a contributing factor of an accelerated trend in sea level rise which threatens coastal habitat.

What is the difference between concordant and discordant coasts?
Concordant coasts have rock layers that run parallel to the shoreline, creating a straight coastline. Discordant coasts have rock layers that run perpendicular to the shoreline, leading to irregular coastlines with bays and headlands.
Primary coasts are created by what processes?
Primary coasts are formed by natural processes such as volcanic activity, tectonic forces leading to uplift or subsidence, and deposition of sediment by rivers or glaciers. These coasts tend to have rugged landscapes and are directly influenced by geological forces.

How are coasts created?
Coasts are created through a combination of geological processes such as erosion, sediment deposition, and tectonic activity. Erosion from water, wind, and ice reshapes the land, while sediment deposition builds up coastlines over time. Tectonic activity, such as the movement of Earth's plates, can also shape coastlines by uplifting or subsiding land.
How do cold water currents affect the western coasts of continents?
Cold water currents along the western coasts of continents tend to keep the coastal areas cooler compared to the eastern coasts. They can also result in upwelling of nutrient-rich waters, supporting diverse marine ecosystems and fisheries. These currents can also influence the climate by moderating temperatures and affecting local weather patterns.
