framework are superimposed the regional or local effects of climatic control; the shaping of the 

 landforms, formation of shore features, and other things that add up to a specific pattern or 

 complex. Included here is the cover of vegetation, often the dominant effect visible on aerial 

 photographs. Then there can be set up an environmental type or regional pattern which will be 

 identifiable in people's minds, because there will be analogies between similar climates on 

 similar terrain. In essence, this will be a physical geography of coasts, so organized that from 

 it can be read the conditions that probably will be encountered, thus alerting and guiding the 

 users of aerial photographs. This is a tool that will be used for terrain interpretation and by 

 people not necessarily trained in this field.
