How waves erode
Hydraulic action
- The sheer power/force of the waves pushes the water into cracks in the rock and compresses the air. Pressure will eventually cause the rock to break
Abrasion/ Corrasion
- Waves contain material like pebble and shingle. It hurls them against a cliff faces and the material in the wave is used to break the cliff up.
Corrosion
- Sea water reacts chemically with the rock and dissolves it
Attrition
- This is when the rocks in the water knock against each other and become smaller, rounded and smoother
