The morphometry of shore platforms is determined by their morphogenic environments. Gaspé, Québec is a mesotidal storm wave environment. Shore platforms are cut into steeply dipping flysch, consisting of shale, graywackes, and argillites. The platforms are quasihorizontal, with a low-tide cliff or low-tide ramp at their seaward termini, and a high-tide ramp at the cliff base. Platform gradient is determined by tidal range, mean platform elevation by midtide level, and the cliff platform junction by level of the high tides; lithological and structural factors play a secondary role. Platform width is a function of wave intensity and rock hardness. Most elements of platform morphometry are determined by the elevational distribution of wave action, particularly during storms
