Coastal Erosion Insights

Cliff erosion is a gradual process driven by wave action, where the relentless force of the ocean undercuts and retreats sea cliffs. As waves strike the base of the cliffs, cracks form and expand, leading to the creation of caves and eventually dramatic features like headland arches. The sediment deposited along sandy beaches primarily originates from the erosion of these cliffs, illustrating the interconnectedness of coastal dynamics.
