Coastal Geology

How have the history and culture of coastal areas been affected by their geology?

By animals and fossils accumulate into the earths surface. As they die, their shells or what ever it may be accumulate on the bottom, as they accumulate their folds have been eroded into ridges. Over years this happens and it cannot be changed. It is like evolution for our earths crust and it is only going to keep happening by what ever it may be that is living and dying on it.

One example of this happening is by the lab activity that we did in class "dance of the continents". The continents of our earth move and develop over the course of years and they are never going to stop because of our earth spinning and the plate tectonics moving. The plate tectonics are plates deep in the earth that move or shift every so often.

That is how history and culture have affected the coastal areas by their geology over the course of many years.
