諸磯の隆起海岸, Geological formation in Miura, Japan.
The Moroiso Uplift Coast features limestone cliffs with bivalve shells nests reaching heights of 8.4 meters above sea level.
The coastal area received national monument status in 1928 due to geological evidence of multiple earthquakes throughout Japanese history.
Scientists and researchers from Waseda University conduct extensive studies of the geological formations to understand tectonic movements in Japan.
The geological site contains three designated areas, with Area C displaying two-tiered ripple marks formed by ancient water movements.
The cliff faces contain four distinct rows of shell holes, spaced between 0.5 to 1.0 meters apart, indicating multiple earthquake events.
