	HA 730-L North Atlantic Coastal Plain aquifer system text
		The northern part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain is underlain by a wedge-shaped mass of semi-consolidated to unconsolidated sediments that thickens toward the ocean and restson a surface of crystalline rock (fig.
		Throughout much of the coastal area, the surficial aquifer is recognized as a principal aquifer not because of its potential to yield large volumes of water, but because the underlying aquifers commonly contain saline water and their use is thus restricted.
		In the western parts of the coastal plain of North Carolina and Virginia, the hydrochemical facies of water in the Chesapeake aquifer cannot be identified conclusively because data are too sparse.

	South Carolina - MSN Encarta
		South Carolina, one of the southern Atlantic coast states of the United States, bordered on the north by North Carolina; on the east and south-east by the Atlantic Ocean; and on the south-west and west by Georgia.
		The southern part of the Coastal Plain is fringed by the Sea Islands, separated from the mainland by salt marshes, lagoons, and sounds.
		The inner edge of the Coastal Plain, which passes through the city of Columbia, is called the fall line.

	Carolina Bays in the upland gravels of Virginia
		In a broad study of upland gravels of the southern part Of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, Doering (1960) correlated the gravels west of the Fell Zone in Virginia with the early Pleistocene Citronelle Formation of the eastern Gulf Coast region.
		The regional stratigraphy and structure of the eastern Coastal Plain of the York-James Peninsula is summarized in Bick and Coch (1969) and in Johnson (1969).
		The 120-foot plain (terrace) is extensively dissected because of its greater age and its proximity to both the York River and the Chickahominy River.

		The topography of the Coastal Plain is a terraced landscape that stair-steps down to the coast and to the major rivers.
		The Virginia Coastal Plain is underlain by a thick wedge of sediments that increases in thickness from a featheredge near the Fall Zone
		Latest Tertiary and Quaternary sand, silt, and clay, which cover much of the Coastal Plain, were deposited during interglacial highstands of the sea under conditions similar to those that exist in the modern Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries.

	NYC Regional Geology
		In a geologic perspective, the coastal plain is continuous with the shallow continental shelf extending from the shoreline seaward to the break in slope along the outer continental shelf.
		Along the Atlantic margin, the boundary between continental and oceanic crust are locked together, causing the two regions to behave as a single crustal plate.
		This process is driven by several factors: 1) the continued cooling and condensing of the new crust beneath the margin of the continent; 2) the gradual isostatic readjustment of the crust to the additional weight of sedimentary deposits accumulating on the margin; and 3) the gradual dewatering and porosity reduction of the sediments.

	Coastal Plain
		The Coastal Plain is the youngest of Virginia's physiographic provinces, its rocks having been deposited after the Atlantic Ocean began to form early in the Mesozoic.
		Where the softer sedimentary rocks of the Coastal Plain abut the more resistant metamorphic rocks of the Piedmont, a low escarpment is visible on the landscape.
		Distinction may thus be made between that part of the Coastal Plain that is submerged, the continental shelf, and that that is exposed above sea level, merely known as the coastal plain.

		The coastal plain province was initially found due to the low topographic relief, good soils, and access to shipping, a trend that continued to ~1900 (Fig.
		Most gauged areas on the coastal plain are quite far inland and represent only a small fraction of the basin draining into coastal waters (e.g., the gauged areas in the Choptank and Chester basins on the Delmarva Peninsula represent <20% of the total basin area (Fig.
		In a previous study in the Choptank basin on the Delmarva Peninsula, we estimated fluxes of water, N, and P from ungauged portions of the watershed using the local land use, soil characteristics, and human populations.

	Atlantic Coastal Plain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Atlantic Coastal Plain is the rather flat stretch of land that borders the Atlantic Ocean (including the Gulf of Mexico).
		The western border of the coastal plain is defined as the fall line, to the west of which lies the Piedmont Plateau and then the Appalachian Mountains.
		The Atlantic Coastal Plain in the U.S. Currently, the coastal plain is very wet, including many rivers, marsh, and swampland.

		It is nearly parallel with the Atlantic Coast, and extending from the of Quebec in Canada to northern Alabama.
		A coastal plain is any flat, low-lying region near the sea such as the Atlantic Coastal Plain in the far east.

	Carbon-Dioxide Sequestration
		The deeper portions of the eastern coastal plain are the focus of this investigation because this area contains strata that are sufficiently deep, porous and permeable, and hydraulically isolated from fresh-water aquifers to serve as potential CO sequestration targets.
		Hence, depth-to-basement limits areas within the north central Atlantic coastal plain where aquifers are sufficiently deep to be candidates for CO sequestration.
		Although the GIS generally covers the eastern coastal plain of New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland, eastern Maryland and southeasternmost Delaware appear to be especially suitable for CO sequestration: there are significant CO producers in the area (fig.

	Cretaceous Dinosaurs of the Southeastern United States D
		Dinosaurs probably inhabited a narrowly restricted zone of coastal lowlands (alluvial plains) and supratidal reaches of linear coastlines adjacent to the Appalachian Mountains (King, 1996).
		Minor third-order fluctuations in relative sea level probably caused alternate innundation and exposure of coastal lowlands (comprising both dwelling habitats and migration routes), and zero width of coastal lowlands is highly probable during some third-order sea-level high-stands (King, 1996).
		Atlantic passage was apparently "nodosaur-proof," as no known European nodosaurs are found in eastern North America.

	GEOLOGY AND GEOGRAPHY OF THE NEW YORK BIGHT
		The last 100 million years of Earth history of the Atlantic Coastal region is a story of repeated rises and falls in sea level punctuated by "very minor" adjustments in crustal tectonics (relative to the major mountain-building episodes of the Paleozoic and Precambrian eras).
		High-standing seas during Late Cretaceous time (around 300 feet higher than present) allowed coastal erosion to progress westward to the location of the "fall line." The fall line is a topographic boundary between the western margin of the Coastal Plain and the eastern edge of the Appalachian Piedmont region.
		The physical appearance of this boundary is marked by the change from the almost flat terrain of the Coastal Plain to the rolling hills and high ridges of the Piedmont and the Appalachian highlands to the west.
