Crescentic Landforms along the Atlantic Coast of the United States

An uninterrupted series of hierarchically arranged crescentic coastal landforms occurs along the Atlantic coast. Dimensional analysis suggests a geometric relation between order, amplitude, and number. The processes responsible for these features also may be continuous in nature.
