Why is chalk vulnerable to freeze thaw weathering?
"The cliffs (of Dover on the Brittish Coast) themselves are still under attack from the sea as its continuous flow eats away at the soft chalk at the base of the cliffs. About 2-5cm on average are lost each year, but more than a metre can be lost in one large cliff fall, and as sea-levels rise the cliffs will probably retreat more quickly"...National Trust http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-index.htm

What factor best explains why London rather than dover became England's chief port?
Dover and London are not far from each other but have very different situations. Dover is located on cliffs, known as the White Cliffs of Dover. The cliffs have served as effectivedefensesagainst attacking forces. Access to the town was therefore difficult by sea, a vital link in the life of the British Isles.On the other hand, London grew because the River Thames provided easy access to the sea with many miles of waterfront that served as ports. The early city of London was located to the north of the river and provided links from the sea to the North and to the West of the country. As the city grew in importance, so the ports grew with it. The ports were developed at a time when business owners needed to be close to their operational centers to monitor and manage them and so the financial centers in London encouraged ports to be built close by.In recent years, other ports have grown while London's have shrunk to just a fraction of the size they once were. Reclaimed land at Dover with a 75 minute sea crossing to Europe has made Dover one of the busiest ports in the country. Road links to and from the port that avoid London's traffic also make it a popular route. Although London remains the financial center of the country, communication links no longer demand that ports are close to business centers.

Can your teeth be white after smoking for a few years?
Not unless you brush your teeth well after each cigarette, but doing that will erode your tooth enamel. You shouldn't brush your teeth more than 3 times a day. So basically, if you are taking proper care of your teeth then no your teeth will not be white if you smoke. ((Personal experience))
How does wind erode?
The wind has molecules (you can feel it when you fan yourself) and these molecules can carry very tiny pieces of rock. The wind takes tiny pieces of rock each year and, of course, it takes a long time to erode.

Who is wulfe79?
WulFe79 is one of the greatest guitar hero players in the world. He and PriestMLH, another guitar hero prodigy, played each other at a guitar hero get-together. They played Cliffs of Dover on Expert. Priest MLH won the match by one note. It was not a battle, just a pro-face-off. WulFe79 is his new video on youtube of himself 100%ing a hard song, i think, on GH3. This was his 100th video. I do not know if he has uploaded any other videos yet.
