1. LEFT The construction of dams inevitably involves the destruction and submergence of archaeological sites.
2. This submergence has also produced the myriad skerries and islands of the inter-island straits, notably between North Uist and South Harris.
3. Beyond the apple trees and within a few feet of the river is a large raised platform, visible in winter before its annual submergence in weeds, part of a vanished building, and there are clear lines of stone walls adjoining it.
4. The eruption which probably had the most far reaching effect on civilization was that of Santorin (Thera) in the Aegean, in about 1470 B.C. This abruptly extinguished the highly-developed Minoan culture centred on Crete, and, because the eruption caused the submergence beneath the sea of a large part of the island of Santorin, it may have given rise to the age-old legends of Atlantis, the "lost" or "drowned" continent.
5. Geologically recent submergence has also produced a series of islands, some inhabited e.g. Eriskay and Berneray, and some now empty and abandoned e.g. Fuday, the Monach Islands and Pabbay.
6. This class includes those shorelines where the exact form is due to neither emergence nor submergence but to a new constructional or tectonic form, e.g. deltas, alluvial plains, outwash plains, volcanoes and faults.
7. (a) Shorelines of submergence.
8. Such profiles are characteristic of shorelines of emergence rather than of shorelines of submergence, a fact which led Johnson (1919) to class offshore bars as features typical of shorelines of emergence.
9. This is principally due to the fact that most of the world's shorelines show signs of both emergence and submergence due to oscillations of sea level in the Pleistocene period.
10. In the British Isles the best examples are found off the Norfolk coast, as will be described below: although this coast is one of submergence, the offshore profile, composed largely of glacial deposits, is extremely gentle, thus allowing waves to break long before they reach the coast.
11. Obviously a transfer of allegiance in the feudal way was much less of a strain than the submergence of a national spirit, and there was a great difference between the national spirit of Englishmen and the allegiance to the King of France or to the Great Moghul felt by the inhabitants of New France and of Bengal; if the inhabitants of Bengal had felt that they were citizens of the nation of Bengal it would hardly have been possible for them to change to feeling they were Englishmen, but for them to feel that they used to owe allegiance to the Nawab of Bengal and now owed it to the British businessmen who had conquered the Nawab was not such a difficult transition.
12. Nevertheless, the overall impression in all the islands is of coastline submergence; a process that appears to have occurred over the last 8,000 years or so with the amount of sea level rise being estimated as approximately 5 m.
13. The submergence of North Africa beneath the tide of Islam in the seventh century meant far more than the loss of one of the most intellectually vital parts of the Latin church.
