What are coastal processes?Show answer
Marine processes include hydraulic action (the force of water and trapped air compressing into cracks), abrasion (sediment thrown against the cliff), attrition (load particles colliding and rounding) and solution (chemical dissolving of soluble rock such as chalk). Sub-aerial processes weather and weaken the cliff face through freeze-thaw, biological and chemical weathering, and mass movement such as slumping and rockfall.
