The processes of erosion operating at the coast:
The process of erosion is when the land weathers away by the sea normally by strong waves of the sea. This normally includes five processes in total.
- Corrasion leads to the picking up of the particles present on the beach like the pebbles and are deposited at the base of the cliff.
- Next is abrasion, which happens at the breaking of the waves which contains sand.
- Hydraulic action is breaking of the base of the cliff by water hitting it again and again.
- Attrition is when rocks break because of the waves hitting them.
- The last is corrosion when cliff erodes because of weak acids in the sea.
