Revetments are structures made of materials like rocks or concrete that are used to protect shorelines, embankments, or river banks from erosion by absorbing the energy of waves or currents. They help prevent the underlying soil or structure from being eroded away by acting as a barrier against the erosive forces of water.
Coastal defense schemes are protective measures implemented to safeguard coastlines from erosion, flooding, and other natural hazards. These schemes can include seawalls, breakwaters, beach nourishment, and dune restoration, among other strategies, to mitigate the impact of sea-level rise and storm surges on coastal communities and infrastructure. The goal is to enhance resilience and sustainably manage coastal areas for the long term.

"Where" is a word commonly used to ask about a location.
Most land is used for agriculture, with the majority being used to grow crops and raise livestock for food production. Additionally, land is also used for urban development, industrial activities, and natural resource extraction.
The term used for narrow deep valleys is "ravine."
A revetment, I think you mean, has several different meanings for different professions. In stream restoration, river engineering, and/or coastal management, revetments are sloped-like structures which are on banks or cliffs, thus allowing for energy to be absorbed by incoming water. Revetments, in military engineering, they are sloped like structures that are made to secure an area from harm such as bombing or gun shooting. Then, in architecture, they are different structures which are normally vertical and used to retain and sometimes decorate a wall. Typically, river revetments are used to protect against erosion.

Ships should be parked in protective revetments or at safe distance(s) .

No single element can make the airbase safe. Rather it is a combination of a wide perimeter that denies the effective use if weapons used by the enemy. A well defended and alert perimeter squadron detachment with illumination flares as well as weapons and radio contact with the squadron commander. Hootches should be protected with revetments, at least sandbags. Also air navigation equipment on approach to runway needs to be sandbagged. Any aircraft should be stored in hardened arched concrete, or at least wide concrete revetments. Patrols outside the perimeter need to be conducted regularly. All airmen should learn from best practices written up from experiences and lessons learned.
