Why do rocks erode at different rates?
Some rocks are harder than others like sandstone which is very soft. Other times rock can have different conditions under which they will erode faster such as limestone.
Is chalk a hard or a soft rock?
Chalk is a hard rock, with large lines of weakness so will erode by physical weathering and the sea.
Why do igneous rocks stick up above the ground?
Softer rock is originally around the igneous rock but the soft rock has eroded making the igneous rock visible and above ground level.
Why is it important to know and understand the qualities of various rock types?
If the rock is a soft one it will weather faster if it is a hard rock it will take longer to weather
What is soft drive?
its like a hard drive but softer
Why in a thousand years could a lump of igneous rock stand will above the rest of the landscape?
Igneous rock is hard. If the surrounding rock is softer it will erode more quickly. Sedimentary rocks in particular can be very soft.

Do steep hills erode faster than gentle hills?
Steep Hill Erodes Faster. The Water Picks Up Speed And More Energy To Wear Away The Earth. Generally, hills will be steep because they are made of resistant rock; whereas gentle hills will have that shape because they are made of rock that is easily eroded. Hence steep hills will not necessarily erode faster than gentle ones. However, if a hill is steep because it has recently been formed by tectonic activity, and it comprises soft rock, it will erode faster than a more gentle hill of the same material.
How was Durdle Door formed?
Durdle Door was formed by erosion of the soft rock. The sea eroded the soft rock until it reached the limestone where it couldn't erode it leaving an arch.

How did the waves and the rock type have anything to do with the formation of lulworth cove?
Coves formed where rock runs in bands horizontal to the direction of the waves. There is a band of resistant rock closest to the sea and a band of less resistant rock inland. The wave seeks out faults in the hard rock and erodes through to the soft rock behind. Then the Wave eroded the softer rock faster and this leaves a circular cove with a narrow entrance where the sea enters.
