The east coast of the United states is a good example.
Explanation: As there is no tectonic activity going on the east coast of North America it is an example of passive margin.
The coast line is subject to global sea level rise.
Explanation: Passive margins are generally assosciated with coast lines subject to sea level rise
It shows a submergent coastline.
Explanation: Sea level rise causes coasts to be submerged underwater thus leading to submergent coasts
