Figures
Figure 1.
The coastal geomorphology of Norway.
Figure 2.
The coastal geomorphology of Jæren, southwest Norway (Figure 1).

Factors involved in coastal development in Norway. The shoreline
displacement curves are in 14 C years BP.
Photos
Photo 1.
The rocky shore of the Fjärd coast of the Hvaler archipelago is cut in the PreCambrian Østfold granite. The gently undulating topography was formed by
pre-glacial weathering, and Quaternary glaciation has formed the ice-smoothed
surface.
Photo 2.
The cliff and shore abrasion platform on the west coast of Søndre Søster in the
Hvaler archipelago. The bedrock is a Permian lava conglomerate with
numerous fissures and joints, which have guided frost weathering and wave
erosion. A gravely beach is seen in front of the cliff.
Photo 3.
The fossil moraine cliff on Jæren, Figures 1 and 2, produced by wave attack
has a broad beach of boulders and gravel of varying size in front of it.
Photo 4.
The sandy beach of Revesanden, Figures 1 and 2. The waves have sorted the
Lista Stage moraine (Klemsdal 1969) and accumulated sand on the beaches of
Jæren, south from Revtangen, Figure 2. Behind the sandy beach is a zone of
sand dunes, the highest reaching 15 m above sea level.
Photo 5.
The Strandflat at Myre, Vesterålen, North Norway, here covered by an
extensive peat bog.
Photo 6.
The Lysefjord fjord from Prekestolen (the Pulpit), 600 m above sea level.
Photo 7.
The high sea cliff north of Kjøllefjord. The gently undulating paleic
(Preglacial) land surface is truncated by a cliff. The vertical cliff may plunge
directly into the sea or it may be fronted by a talus of loose material.
