Well, since sand is already very eroded rock a coastline would probably be affected more if the coast was rocky. The type of rock also would affect the rate of erosion. Sedimentary rock erodes faster than igneous and metamorphic im pretty sure. hope it helps.

What is fast erosion?

Fast erosion is when any force (wind, rain, ice, water, etc.) comes in at a massive amount causing erosion to happen quicker and more violently. For example, A monsoon (heavy rain storm) could create a form of fast erosion known as a landslide. If there is a tsunami the force of the water could rip apart coastlines, and nearby land forms.
