Water can cause erosion by wearing away rock, such as waves hitting rock cliffs causing the rock to wear away. Rain causes erosion to soil that is left bare without any grass or plants to prevent it.
How can cliffs be protected from erosion by the sea?
cliffs are created by erosion
What the definition of differential erosion?
Differential erosion occurs when a geologic area was formed of both soft and weak rocks rocks, are harder, more resistant, rocks, weak rocks wear away first leaving behind knobs and cliffs of more resistant rocks.
When rocks wear away its called?
erosion, I believe
What is an agent of erosion on cliffs?
Gravity
How and why do cliffs change?
Erosion by the wind, rain and waves will wear cliffs away
Can erosion effect water animals and plants?
No, I personally do not think so. Erosion only causes rocks and cliffs to wear away and the wind grinds them into sand.

How are relict cliffs formed?
because when sea water crashes onto them they ware away due to salt erosion
