A raised beach can also be referred to as a shoreline platform or an elevated shore. It is a geological formation that describes a former beach or sea bottom that has been raised above its current level by geological processes, such as tectonic uplift or changes in sea level. Additionally, a raised beach may also be referred to as a fossil beach, a wave-cut platform, or a coastal bench. These synonyms may vary based on regional and local usage and may reflect different geological contexts. Nevertheless, they all denote an elevated landform that has significant geological and ecological importance, providing evidence of past sea levels and biodiversity.
