The uplifted shorelines include sea cliffs, caves, rockbenches, skerries, and new islands in the rock; and gravelbenches, sand dunes, deltas, and spits in the unconsolidatedshore accumulations. There are also present-day shore-lines of till as a result of the uplift. The amounts of up-lift are from i to 12 feet (1-3 to 3-6 m.) in outer Yakutatbay, from 7 to 47 feet (2 to 14 m.) in Disenchantment bay,and from 2 to 10 feet (-6 to 3 m.) in Russell fiord. Fromthe distribution of these uplifts seven fault lines have beenlocated. On the downthrown side of certain of these faults thecoast was depressed, and trees were killed by depression was from 5 to 7 feet (1-5 to 7-1 m.) especi-ally in the extreme sou
