How did Maine develop an irregular shoreline?
1. Maine's irregular shoreline formed in a hilly region cut by river valleys. 2. A rise in sea level drowned the valleys, turning them into bays. Ridges became headlands, and hills became islands. 3.

What are coastal features formed as a result of longshore drift?
Beaches, Sand bars and Spits.
How are spits formed?
Longshore drift moves material along the coastline. When the coastline curves, the material continues to be deposited in a straight line, unless the prevailing wind changes direction. As the material is deposited further out to sea, the waves cannot pass it, creating a sheltered area and salt marsh is formed.
