Were sea cliffs formed by erosion or deposition?
Through Water and Erosion At least
What are relict cliffs?
Relic cliffs are cliffs that used to be active (Eroded) when the sea reached the raised beach beneath it. (Higher sea levels) Now these cliffs are relict because they receive no erosion and have vegetation on them.
What is one way that waves cause erosion?
Wave-cut cliffs, headlands, sea stacks, sea arches, sea caves, beaches, sandbars, and spits.
Where is coastal erosion?
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.
How can the coast line be protected from erosion?
You can build gabions or build sea walls

Natural erosion by the sea, as for all cliffs.
What sea is long narrow inlets of the sea bordered by steep cliffs most of them caused by glacial erosion?
A fjord.
What is the agent of erosion on cliffs?
The agent of erosion on cliffs mostly is gravity.
Which of these landforms would easily eroded?

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.
How are relict cliffs formed?
because when sea water crashes onto them they ware away due to salt erosion
How can the coast line be protected from erosion?
You can build gabions or build sea walls
Are Fiords are formed through wave erosion?
Yes fiords are formed through wave erosion. A sea arch is also formed through wave erosion. Other things that can be formed through erosion are canyons, cliffs, and caves.
