  2. Coastal geography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastal_geography

    Coastal geography is the study of the constantly changing region between the ocean and the land, incorporating both the physical geography (i.e. coastal geomorphology, climatology and oceanography) and the human geography (sociology and history) of the coast.

  3. Climatic geomorphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climatic_geomorphology

    Atolls like Atafu in Tokelau in the Pacific Ocean are landforms associated to tropical climate. No atoll exists outside the tropics. Climatic geomorphology is the study of the role of climate in shaping landforms and the earth-surface processes. [1] An approach used in climatic geomorphology is to study relict landforms to infer ancient ...

  5. Oceanic climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_climate

    Regions where oceanic or subtropical highland climates (Cfb, Cfc, Cwb, Cwc) are found. An oceanic climate, also known as a marine climate or maritime climate, is the temperate climate sub-type in Köppen classification represented as Cfb, typical of west coasts in higher middle latitudes of continents, generally featuring cool to warm summers and cool to mild winters (for their latitude), with ...

  6. Coast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coast

    The term coastal zone is used to refer to a region where interactions of sea and land processes occur. [10] Both the terms coast and coastal are often used to describe a geographic location or region located on a coastline (e.g., New Zealand's West Coast, or the East, West, and Gulf Coast of the United States.)

  7. Paleoclimatology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleoclimatology

    Examples of these landforms are those such as glacial landforms (moraines, striations), desert features (dunes, desert pavements), and coastal landforms (marine terraces, beach ridges). [16] Climatic geomorphology is of limited use to study recent ( Quaternary , Holocene ) large climate changes since there are seldom discernible in the ...

  8. Coastal plain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastal_plain

    Coastal plains can form in one of two ways; some begin as a continental shelf, a flat piece of land located below sea level, and are created when the ocean level falls, exposing the land. Others develop when river currents carry sediment into the ocean, which is deposited and builds up over time until it forms a coastal plain.

  9. Geography of Florida - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Florida

    Köppen climate classification map of Florida. The climate of Florida is tempered by the fact that no part of the state is very distant from the ocean. North of Lake Okeechobee, the prevalent climate is humid subtropical, while coastal areas south of the lake (including the Florida Keys) have a true tropical climate. [16]
