Description
"Maine’s coastline is made up of diverse geologic landscapes that were created by glaciers during and after the last Ice Age. Maine’s coastal landscape is also influenced by the tide, which ranges from about eight feet in southern Maine to over 18 feet along the Downeast coast.
The majority of the shoreline (58% or about 2,000 miles) is Maine’s characteristic cliffed rocky coast (what geologists call “consolidated bluffs”). However, about 40% or 1,400 miles are soft, loose (“unconsolidated”) bluffs that are vulnerable to erosion. Sand beaches make up only about 2% or 70 miles of the Maine coast, mostly in the southern part of the state." (umaine.edu)
