South Australian 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. Geologically, the South Australian coast is very young, having evolved over only 1% of geological time, during the past 43 million years since the separation of Australia and Antarctica. It is also very dynamic, with the current shoreline position having been established from only 7000 years ago. This book is a landmark study into the variable character of the South Australian coast and its long-term evolution. 650 0 Coasts|zAustralia|zSouth Australia. 650 0 Geology|zAustralia|zSouth Australia. 650 7 SCIENCE / Earth Sciences / Geology.|2bisacsh 700 1 Murray-Wallace, Colin V.,|eauthor. 700 1 Harvey, Nick,|eauthor. 914 ocn999329142 994 C0|bSTJ
