1. Demarcation diagram of rocky coasts in microtidal environments: type A platforms for ρgHl/Sc≥1.3×10−2, type B platforms for 1.7×10−3≤ ρgHl /Sc <1.3×10−2, and plunging cliffs for ρgHl/Sc<1.7×10−3, where Hl is the largest height of waves occurring at a coast, Sc is the compressive strength of rocks forming the coast, ρ is the density of water, and g is the acceleration owing to gravity (Sunamura 1992).
