A raised beach, coastal terrace, or perched coastline is a relatively flat, horizontal or gently inclined surface of marine origin, mostly an old abrasion platform which has been lifted out of the sphere of wave activity (sometimes called "tread"). Thus, it lies above or under the current sea level, depending on the time of its formation. It is bounded by a steeper ascending slope on the landward side and a steeper descending slope on the seaward side (sometimes called "riser"). Due to its generally flat shape, it is often used for anthropogenic structures such as settlements and infrastructure.

  • Una terraza costera, terraza marina o playa elevada​ es una superficie de origen marino relativamente plana, horizontal o ligeramente inclinada,​ principalmente una antigua plataforma de abrasión que se ha levantado de la esfera de actividad de las olas (a veces llamada "huella"). Así, se encuentra por encima o por debajo del nivel del mar actual, dependiendo del momento de su formación.​​ Está delimitado por una pendiente ascendente más pronunciada en el lado hacia tierra adentro y una pendiente descendente más pronunciada hacia el lado del mar (a veces llamada "subida"). Debido a su forma generalmente plana, se usa a menudo para estructuras antropogénicas como asentamientos e infraestructura. (es)
