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