Geological magazine : Vol. 86 Iss. 1-6 Year. 1949Summary: Abstract
The use of the terms “normal” and “abnormal” in relation to shore-platforms has led to confusion and should be discontinued. Processes operative in the formation of shore platforms are analysed from Victorian examples. The effects of water-layer weathering, growth of marine organisms, breakers, and waves of translation on sheltered and open coasts and on various rocks (including a special study of platforms in aeolianites) are discussed.
