- H.A.C.A
- Hydraulic Action
- The process involves the force of water against the coast. The waves enter cracks (faults) in the coastline and compress the air in the crack expands quickly causing a minor explosion. The process is repeated continuously.
- Corrosion
- This is the chemical action of sea water. The acids in the salt water slowly dissolve rocks on the coast. Limestone and chalk are particularly prone to this process.
- Attrition
- Material carried by the waves bump into each other and so are smoothed and broken down into smaller particles
- Abrasion
- This is the process by which the coast is worn down by material carried by the waves. Waves throw these particles against the rock, sometimes at high velocity
- Hydraulic Action
