I was not planning to learn this material but as soon as I started to watch this video my eyes were opened. I have talked to so many visitors to the West Coast, Southern California in particular, without ever realizing or explaining to them the difference between the West Coast and the East Coast of the USA.

We do have some depositional features on the West coast though. I suppose that estuaries qualify.

Coastal limestone caves are used to determine past sea levels?
