| | The Coastal Plain is the youngest of Virginia's physiographic provinces, its rocks having been deposited after the Atlantic Ocean began to form early in the Mesozoic. | | | One such large valley became Chesapeake Bay when sea levels rose again and flooded the shelf. | | | Distinction may thus be made between that part of the Coastal Plain that is submerged, the continental shelf, and that that is exposed above sea level, merely known as the coastal plain. |
