coast
A coastline or a seashore is the area where land meets the sea or ocean, or a line that forms the boundary between the land and the ocean or a lake. A precise line that can be called a coastline cannot be determined due to the Coastline paradox.
The term coastal zone is a region where interaction of the sea and land processes occurs. Both the terms coast and coastal are often used to describe a geographic location or region; for example, New Zealand's West Coast, or the East and West Coasts of the United States. Edinburgh for example is a city on the coast of Scotland.
A pelagic coast refers to a coast which fronts the open ocean, as opposed to a more sheltered coast in a gulf or bay. A shore, on the other hand, can refer to parts of the land which adjoin any large body of water, including oceans (sea shore) and lakes (lake shore). Similarly, the somewhat related term "[Stream bed/bank]" refers to the land alongside or sloping down to a river (riverbank) or to a body of water smaller than a lake. "Bank" is also used in some parts of the world to refer to an artificial ridge of earth intended to retain the water of a river or pond; in other places this may be called a levee.
While many scientific experts might agree on a common definition of the term "coast", the delineation of the extents of a coast differ according to jurisdiction, with many scientific and government authorities in various countries differing for economic and social policy reasons. According to the UN atlas, 44% of people live within 150 kilometres (93 miles) of the sea.
I just acquired a S&W 686 CS 1 but the original front sight was replaced. These guns were made for the US Customs Service in the mid 80's & the Gov't spec called for a 1/10" vs. the standard 1/8" wide sight. I can get a replacement sight but it'll need to be shaved .0125" on both sides to make...
Hey there everyone. Been living on the coast for about a year now, originally from way back east (Maryland to be exact). Always enjoyed firearms, from historical guns to everything else. Enjoy learning, becoming a better shooter, and a good representative to the great shooter community...
So weed looks to be legal in all three western CONUS states, plus Alaska now. I do not, nor have I ever partaken of the stuff, and no plan to start - but I think it should be legal and was glad to see Oregon legalize it over a year ago. Knowing police officers personally and being a LE explorer...
Hi, Nortwesterners!
Onslaught of attacks on the 2A has induced me here.
What happens in my State is coming to yours.
Be vigalant.
Nip it in the bud.
Thanks, General
Howdy all,
I've recently made it a goal to spend more time outdoors with my fiance to reconnect with the world and relax from schoolwork. I need to know of some easily assessable fully legal shooting spots anywhere around Portland and Central-North of the Oregon coast (preferably around Astoria...
