  • COASTAL FORMATIONS
    • Cave
      • lithological weaknesses of strata in rock
        • exploited by hydraulic action
          • cracks get larger
    • Bay and headlands
      • Bay forms in less resistant rock for example boulder clay
        • easily eroded by abrasian and solution
          • chalk more resistant and therefore sticks out to see
    • Wave Cut Platforms
      • destructive waves hit cliff foot with abrasion and Hydraulic action
        • causes under cutting between high and low tide mark
