Tectonic Estuaries

“How can tectonic movements create estuaries?”

Estuaries are magnificent forms of nature. One of the most fascinating ways estuaries are formed is when tectonic movement causes a piece of land to sink and for surrounding water to fill it. This forms a Tectonic Estuary. The San Francisco Bay is an example of a tidal estuary.
