2.2B Morphology

• Morphology = the shape of landscape features, and is influenced by geological structure
• Dalmatian coasts (concordant) = formed as a result of rising sea levels when where the valleys and ridges run parallel to each other and the valleys flood as a result causing just the just the tops of the ridges remaining
• Haff coast (concordant) = long spits of sand and dunes that run parallel to the coast.
• Headland and bays (Discordant) = form when rocks of different strengths are exposed to the cost, causes headlands to force oncoming waves past them causing a bay to be formed
