Landforms/Geology Sedimentary strata and weakly developed schists; very limited alluvium and colluvium. A few headlands of serpentinitic melange (mineral belt). Steep to moderately steep coastal hill slopes, inlets, beaches, minor fans. Very indented coastline with prominent peninsulas and headlands. Excessively drowned landscape partly due to sea floor subsidence. Streams generally small and steeply graded. App Two - 29
