Concordant coastline:
form where rock strata or folds run parallel to the coast.
Some concordant coasts have long, narrow islands running parallel to the coastline.
Concordant coasts are also known as dalmatian coasts, after the Dalmatian region of Croatia, or Pacific coasts, after the coastline of Chile in South America.
E.g. lulworth cove
Discordant coastlines:
where rock strata or structures are aligned at an angle to the coastline.
Discordant coasts have a crenellated pattern of projecting headlands and indented bays.
e.g. Swanage bay
