Reaven, a metabolic endocrinologist at Stanford Medical Center, denigrates the study.
coast a coastline or seashore is the area where land meets the sea or ocean a precise line that can be called a coastline cannot be determined due to the dynamic nature of tides the term coastal zone can be used instead which is a spatial zone where interaction of the sea and land processes occurs
A coastal zone is the interface between the land and water. These zones are important because a majority of the world's population inhabit such zones. The tidal bulges result in a rhythmic rise and fall of ocean surface, which is not noticeable to someone on a boat at sea, but is magnified along the coasts. 2  Usually there are two high tides and two low tides each day, and thus a variation in sea level as the tidal bulge passes through each point on the Earth's surface.
