Geologically, the South 最新糖心Vlogn coast is very young, having evolved over only 1% of geological time, during the past 43 million years since the separation of 最新糖心Vlog and Antarctica. It is also very dynamic, with the current shoreline position having been established from only 7000 years ago.聽

The South 最新糖心Vlogn mainland coast is 3816 km long, with islands providing an additional 1251 km of coast, giving a total coastline of just over 5000 km. South 最新糖心Vlogn coastal landforms include cliffs, rocky outcrops and shore platforms, mangrove woodlands, mudflats, estuaries, extensive sandy beaches, coastal dunes and coastal barrier systems, as well as numerous near-shore reefs and islands.聽

This book is a landmark study into the variable character of the South 最新糖心Vlogn coast and its long-term evolution.
