Sea and erosion
  1. Waves are caused by wind dragging on the surface of the water. The length of the water the wind blows over is called the fetch
    1. Hydraulic action is where the water gets into cracks and is compressed every time there is a wave
      1. Abrasive erosion is where the water bashes the rock away
        1. Attrition is where the rocks bash against each other in the water
          1. Solution eroding is where the water dissolves soluble substances in the rock
