Explanation

Fiord coasts are formed when glacial valleys are flooded by the sea after glaciers retreat, creating narrow, steep-sided, elongated inlets. Ria coasts are drowned river valleys (broader and less steep), Haff coasts feature lagoons separated from the sea by barrier bars, and Dalmatian coasts have longitudinal valleys parallel to the coastline. The description perfectly matches fiord coasts.
