An emergent coastline is a stretch along the coast that has been exposed by the sea by a relative fall in sea levels by either isostasy or eustasy.
[1] The emergent coastline may have several specific landforms: The Scottish Gaelic word machair or machar refers to a fertile low-lying raised beach found on some of the coastlines of Ireland and Scotland (especially the Outer Hebrides).
Hudson Bay, in Canada's north, is an example of an emergent coastline.
[citation needed] Another example of emergent coastline is the Eastern Coastal Plains of the Indian Subcontinent.
