Geomorphological processes at work on the coastal landforms are influenced by a number of environmental factors. The coastal area is a scene of interaction between different spheres of the earth like hydrosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere, biosphere and technosphere. Each of these spheres has its own influence on the development of the coastal landforms. This paper tries to explain the effect of the sea level change on geomorphological processes taking into account the influence imparted by each of the attributes of the above mentioned spheres. The understanding of these processes will enable the effects of various human interferences to be predicted and are important in coastal land management and conservation of coastal natural resources.Pages
