		Alternatively, a submergent coastline is a coastline which has experienced a rise in sea level, due to a global sea level change, local subsidence, or isostatic rebound.
		Submergent coastlines are identifiable by their submerged, or "drowned" landforms, such as rias (drowned valleys) and fjords.
		A discordant coastline is a type of coastline formed when rock types of alternating resistance run perpendicular to the shore.

	Discord at AllExperts
		The word discord is a noun in the English language used to refer to things that clash or disagree.
		In geology, a discordant* coastline is formed when the sea erodes layers of rock that are oriented perpendicular to the shore.
		In Greek Mythology, the Apple of Discord* was the inscribed golden apple thrown by Eris the Olympic goddess, causing the argument which led to the Judgement of Paris and thus to the Trojan War.

		The coastline is comprised of long stretches of relatively smooth shoreline with some small projections, coves, and tidal flats.
		In the hamlet of Glasco the blocky structures of the sewage plant, several large parking areas along the river bank, and the waterside storage of construction vehicles and materials are discordant features and detract from the visual quality of the hamlet.
		This structure introduces an element of discordance into an otherwise undisturbed landscape, but this does not impair the overall scenic quality of the subunit, which is relatively well maintained.

		A discordant coastline is a type of coastline formed when rock types of alternating resistance run perpendicular to the shore.
		Discordant coastlines feature distinctive landforms because the rocks are eroded by ocean waves.
		The less resistant rocks erode faster, creating inlets or bays; the more resistant rocks erode more slowly, remaining as headlands or outcroppings.

		— A coastline with rocks that run parallel to the coast is called a concordant or “Pacific” coastline.
		One that has rocks running at right angles to the coast is called a discordant or “Atlantic” coastline.
		- Formed on an Atlantic (discordant) coastline due to the softer rock being eroded quicker than the harder rock.

		So it is that the initially puzzling image on the cover of Curbside Journal's CD - an aerial photograph of what could be the Pacific coastline, juxtaposed with images of molded glassware - somehow seems to cohere with the music on the CD.
		Thinking this through, both the glass and the coastline, with its mountains and coastal alluvial plains, are formed through a conflict of forces: silica sand and heat for the glass, plate tectonics and erosion for the coastline.

		Using population genetic theory and computer simulation, I statistically revealed how seemingly discordant genetic patterns may result from the same ecological processes.
		The data were also used to show that gene flow was highly restricted between ocean populations of blue marlin and was predominantly from Pacific to Atlantic Oceans.
		Initial results obtained by research students Amy Mullen, Robin Koval, Heather Hassel, and Katey Glunt indicate that there is substantially lower dispersal than ordinarily thought for a marine fish with a several month planktonic larval stage.

	Dorset AONB Encyclopedia Article @ Beheld.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Dorset is particularly noted for its coastline, the Jurassic Coast, which in 2001 was designated a World Heritage Site because of the variety of landforms and fossils exhibited along the coast.
		Dorset's coastline is one of the most visited and studied coastlines in the world because it shows, along the course of 95 miles (including some of east Devon) rocks from the beginning of Triassic, through the Jurassic and up to the end of the Cretaceous, documenting the entire Mesozoic era with well preserved fossils.
		What makes Dorset's coast particularly important to geologists though are the series of landforms which occur so close together, on the concordant and discordant coastlines.

	Coastal erosion
		Waves erode the coastline by the processes of hydraulic action, abrasion, solution and attrition.
		A discordant coastline is a type of coastline characterised by a series of bays and headlands.
		Coastlines with different rock arrangement such as concordant coastlines are less prone to the formation of bays and headlands.

	Natural arch at AllExperts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		On discordant coastlines or Atlantic Coastlines, rock types run at 90Â° to the coast, headlands form.
		Wave refraction concentrates the wave energy on the headland, and the arch forms when caves break through the headland, e.g., London Bridge in Victoria, Australia.
		On concordant coastlines or Pacific coastlines, rock types run parallel to the coastline, with weak rock (such as clay) protected by stronger rock (such as limestone) the wave action breaks through the strong rock and then erodes the weak rock very quickly.

		Apparent characteristic earthquakes can occur if earthquake recurrence intervals are distributed about the mean for that magnitude range, because sampling bias makes those with shorter intervals more likely to be observed than those with longer ones (fractions of earthquakes cannot be observed).
		A second possibility is suggested by the fact that characteristic earthquakes are often inferred because paleoseismic data are discordant with instrumental or historical data.
		The setting for this seismic activity, near the eastern termination of the Romanche Fracture Zone (RFZ), presents the opportunity to investigate the relationship among Pan-African (Neoproterozoic) orogenic structures, transform tectonics, and neotectonic activity.
