Ria是未冰川峡谷的溺水口，通常被上升到山脉、丘陵或高原的陡峭斜坡所环绕。它们形成于多岩石的海岸上。本文考察了RIA和RIA海岸线的许多特征，讨论了它们的定义、它们的分布(比之前认为的更大)、它们的形态以及一些潜在的对它们分布的控制，包括构造历史和潮差。值得注意的集群出现在澳大利亚、东南亚、东亚、大洋洲、东非、阿曼、南美洲部分地区(阿根廷、哥伦比亚、巴西和委内瑞拉)、克里米亚以及地中海和黑海盆地。最好的例子出现在潮差较大的地区。
Rias are the drowned mouths of unglaciated valleys, usually bordered by steep slopes rising to mountains, hills, or plateaux. They are formed on rocky coasts. This paper examines many of the features of rias and ria coastlines, discussing their definition, their distribution (which is greater than previously thought), their morphologies, and some of the potential controls on their distribution, including tectonic history and tidal range. Notable clusters occur in Australia, south east Asia, East Asia, Oceania, eastern Africa, Oman, parts of South America (Argentina, Colombia, Brazil and Venezuela), Crimea, and the Mediterranean and Black Sea basins. The finest examples occur in areas with high tidal ranges.
