it is slowly eroding due to the clay not being stronger enough to hold the weight of the cliff.
because to main rock type is clay which is easly erroded by the sea therefor the cliff is undercutt and it falls down this happend again and again
humans effect cliff collapse by foot erosion, this is humans walking on the cliff which cause is to wear away. humans also can have a good effect on cliff collapse by using sea defences to minimalise cliff collapse. Hope this helps.
A cliff can change over time by the process of erosion. This process erodes parts of the cliff away slowly and then, when erosion stops taking place to the cliff, the cliff stops changing.
This is where the sea constantly beats against the cliffs and eventually wears the cliffs down. so the end of the cliff either falls into the water, or you get left with a cave.

A sea cliff
A sea cliff is a landform made by erosion or wave actions. It is mostly located on seaward edge of the coast or landward side.

Cliff Barton was born on 1907-09-03.
Four land forms would be : sea stack, sea cliff, sea arch, and sea cave.

Barton on sea in Hampshire is a famous location for cliff failures. The reason for the cliff being so weak lies in its geology, with sands lying on top of clays. When heavy rains fall they make the sands heavy, but the water also goes through the permeable sands to wet the clay and the clays become slippery. The cliffs above the clays slide down and are removed by the waves on the coast. Barton has been long affected by coastal erosion and cliff collapse. Over the years a number of buildings and most recently a cafe have been claimed by the sea. The older houses in the settlement are now only 20m from the sea. It is expected that the houses will be lost to the sea in the next 10 to 20 years. The coastline is exposed to the direct force of the prevailing south-westerly winds. This means a very long fetch and as a result the waves are very powerful leading to rates of erosion as much as 2m a year in places.
Water. Specifically the wave action beating on the cliff.
A sea cave is a type of cave formed by erosion through the waves in the ocean. The erosion normally starts at a fault in a sea cliff. Sea caves are found throughout the world, forming on coastlines right now.
The features sea stack, sea headland, cliff, sea arch, and sea cave all form from continuous wave erosion over a long period.
