mererannikud

Mererannikud, also known as coastal plains or coastal lowlands, are geographical features characterized by their flat or gently sloping terrain that extends from the shoreline inland. These regions are typically formed by the deposition of sediments carried by rivers, tides, and waves over long periods. Mererannikud are found along the coasts of many continents and are often subject to frequent flooding due to their low elevation. They are important for agriculture, as they provide fertile soil for farming, and are also crucial for coastal ecosystems, supporting a diverse range of plant and animal life. The climate in mererannikud is usually mild, with moderate temperatures and high humidity, influenced by the proximity to the sea. Human activities in these areas often include fishing, aquaculture, and tourism, which can sometimes lead to environmental challenges such as pollution and habitat destruction. Conservation efforts are often focused on preserving the unique biodiversity and natural resources found in these coastal plains.
