1. Maine's irregular shoreline formed in a hilly region cut by river valleys.

2. A rise in sea level drowned the valleys, turning them into bays. Ridges became headlands, and hills became islands.

3. Erosion by waves and currents formed sea cliffs and spits.

Hope this helps, correct me if i'm wrong!

When a wave arrives at an irregular shoreline the wave front remains straight as it impacts on the shore?

When a wave reaches an irregular shoreline, the wave front will refract, causing it to bend around the contours of the shoreline. This refraction occurs because the shallow water near the shore slows down the part of the wave closer to the shore, causing the wave front to bend.
