Factors affecting rates of erosion
- Wave power
- Wind speed/prevailing direction
- Defences - more defences = less erosion
- Rock type
- Hard/soft
- Limestone vulnerable to erosion
- Land use
- More buildings = more pressure
- More runoff = slumping
- Fetch
- longer distance = more powerful wave
- Weather conditions
- PH of sea
- More acidic = more erosion
- climate change = increased CO2 = ocean acidification
- Amount of sediment
- Atrrition/abrasion
- Wave type
- Constructive/destructive
