Coastal Landforms and Early Earth: Physical Geology Report

This report examines various coastal landforms, including sea cliffs, headlands, sea arches, and lagoons, detailing their formation processes through erosion and geological interactions. It explores the impact of wave action, rock resistance, and sediment deposition on these features. The report also investigates the changes observed along coastlines, such as erosion, silt deposition, and the formation of coral reefs. Furthermore, it delves into the conditions of early Earth, specifically the oxygen-free atmosphere, and its implications for the evolution of life, focusing on the constraints this environment imposed on organisms, such as microbes and the limited survival of plants and animals. The report concludes by referencing several key sources to support its findings.
