Scenarios about 'coastal erosion'
Coastal erosion is the natural process of land loss along shorelines due to wave action, tidal currents, storm surges, and rising sea levels. Throughout history, this phenomenon has destroyed settlements, altered maritime trade routes, and forced population migrations, particularly in low-lying regions. In alternate history scenarios, different patterns of coastal erosion could significantly impact the development of naval powers, the viability of port cities, and the geographic boundaries of coastal nations.
