Coastal Platform and Notch (Alt. ~ 1,8 m) (<4000 years)
The basal notches have a concave shape resulting from the excavation of the rock walls by the bursting jets. These geoforms are excellent markers of the existence and position of sea levels. In this Natural Monument of Pedras Ruivas the basal notch certifies the current coastal platform (VI).
