Rias coast - rias coast
|
A coastline with many bends formed as a result of mountains or hills carved into a river valley sinking relative to sea level. The ridges jut out into the sea as capes, while the river valleys sink to form bays. The name comes from the fact that this type of inlet is called a ria on the northwestern coast of Spain. In Japan, the Sanriku Coast and Ago Bay are famous. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |

河谷に刻まれた山地か丘陵地が，海面に対して相対的に沈降した結果形成される屈曲の多い海岸。尾根部は岬となって海に突出し，河谷部はおぼれて湾となる。スペインの西北岸でこの種の入江をリア Riaと呼ぶことに由来。日本では三陸海岸，英虞湾が有名。
