It's a long process that is all based around erosion. There are three types of erosion, physical, mechanical and chemical:
-Physical erosion would be the waves crashing against cliffs.
-Mechanical erosion is a much more complex process. For instance, water fills a small crack. The water freezes and the crack expands. This can happen many times, leading to massive damage.
-Chemical erosion is the sort of stuff that acid rain does to limestone statues.
When the rocks get eroded a lot, they become smaller rocks. This is constantly repeated until, eventually, the rocks become sand. I could write more on the movement of sand, sandbanks, dredging etc. but that's probably covered elsewhere.

How can waterfalls and landslides change the way mountains look?
