Describe a fiord coast

  

Answers


Faith
A fiord is a submerged glaciated valley found in upland areas which lie adjacent to the sea. Fiord coasts form inlets which are deeper inland and shallower seaward. The shallowness near the mouth of the fiord is due to the presence of a rock bar covered by glacial debris at the point of terminal morraine.
