   Section 3c–Case Study 3, The Pacific Coast (California):

1. This section will begin with histological story of Pacific Coast; how and why the area is formed. Geomorphic history, depositional processes, and coastal erosion  will be discussed in this section. This section primarily focuses on the natural impacts on the coast.

2. This section will discuss the human interfere on the coastal area, and how social-economic development on the nearby area (town/county) affect/change the formation of the coastal area. This section primarily focuses on the human impact on the coast.

3. Generalized conclusions about the major factors that influence the Pacific Coast landscape that can be inferred from the California example will be discussed to conclude the third case study.
