Resumen:
The coastline of Argentina is about 5,700 km long. The main coastal landforms are ice-fringed coasts, pebbly and sandy shores, cliffs, wave-cut terraces, estuaries, marshes and deltas. The coastal geology ranges from a fairly stable area in the north to a generally rising area in Patagonia and tectonically affected coasts in Tierra del Fuego. A wide continental shelf extends offshore reaching in places, over 800 km in width.
