A discordant coastline occurs where bands of different rock types run perpendicular to the coast. The differing resistance to erosion leads to the formation of headlands and bays. A hard rock type such as granite is resistant to erosion and creates a promontory whilst a softer rock type such as the clays of Bagshot Beds is easily eroded creating a bay. The converse of a discordant coastline is a concordant coastline.

  • A discordant coastline occurs where bands of different rock types run perpendicular to the coast. The differing resistance to erosion leads to the formation of headlands and bays. A hard rock type such as granite is resistant to erosion and creates a promontory whilst a softer rock type such as the clays of Bagshot Beds is easily eroded creating a bay. Part of the Dorset coastline running north from the Portland limestone of Durlston Head is a clear example of a discordant coastline. The Portland limestone is resistant to erosion; then to the north there is a bay at Swanage where the rock type is a softer greensand. North of Swanage, the chalk outcrop creates the headland which includes Old Harry Rocks. The converse of a discordant coastline is a concordant coastline. (en)

Parte de la costa de Dorset (Inglaterra), que se dispone hacia el norte desde la lcaliza de Portland en Durlston Head, es un ejemplo claro de un línea de costa discordante. La caliza de Portland es resistente a la erosión; mientras al norte hay una bahía en Swanage donde el tipo de roca es una arenisca verde blanda. Al norte de Swanage, el afloramiento de tiza crea el promontorio que incluye Old Harry Rocks. Lo opuesto a una línea de costa discordante es una . (es)
