noun |
|
| Definition: |
| |
former beach now above shoreline: a former beach found above the present shoreline of a sea or lake following a fall in water level or a rise in land level. Raised beaches are common in areas once glaciated, which rise as the land surface readjusts to the removal of the weight of a former icecap.
