vgbaron Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hi guys - Not the end of the world but in the description it mentions the "coast of Lake Michigan". Oceans have coasts, lakes have shores. there! Now I'll go away. Looks great. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 She sells sea shells by the sea shore, not the sea coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Mmm, "She sells sea shells by the sea coast" wouldn't do much for the alliteration. This seems to sum up the difference Quote The coast is the strip of land bordering the sea or ocean along a continent or an island. The coastline marks the seaward limit of the landmass, which is permanently exposed to wave action. Waves, currents, tides and winds are the chief agents shaping our coastlines. Some coasts are straight, while others are rugged or contain marshes or coral reefs. The shore is the zone between the lowest and the highest watermarks reached by storm waves. The position of the shoreline varies with the rise and fall of tides, and fluctuates at different parts of the day and night. There are three distinct parts of the shore 1 Offshore: this part of the shore is nearest to the sea. It is under water even at low tide. There is much sand on the sea bed. 2 Foreshore: this refers to the zone between high tide and low tide. It is under water during high tide. It s the surf zone. 3 Back shore: it is the part of the shore between the high tide and the highest water level, which can only be reached by exceptional storm waves. Its sea bed is strewn with shingle and pebbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
