Naravnogeografske lastnosti slovenske obale s poudarkom na njeni zgradbi in izoblikovanosti

The formation and characteristics of the Slovenian coast have been mainly influenced by rock composition, sea level and movement, and runoff from the land. The coast is predominantly composed of flysch rocks, one-third of unconsolidated river sediments, and some limestone. In its geomorphological structure, high and low coasts alternate. Abrasion has created high coasts with cliffs on the peninsulas, while fluvial erosion has shaped the bays. Rivers have not only carved out their beds, but have also deposited sediments that form the coastal plains within the bays. Human activity has also influenced the current morphology by preventing the natural action of the sea along most of the Slovenian coast through the construction of breakwaters, embankments, and artificial beaches.
