Coastal Zones Erosion.
- Hydraulic Action
- The waves smash and crash into the cliffs,
forming cracks which water and air enter
- Corrosion/Solution
- Solution: Weaker rock
dissolve in the water
- Corrosion: Rocks that have
fallen from the seacliff, and are
transported by water, and crash
with the waves, eroding cliffs.
- Abrasion
- Pebbles grind over a rocky surface, becoming smooth
- Attrition
- Fragments of rock knock
against eachother,
becoming smoother and
rounder
- Erosion by the sea
