Abrassion/Corrasion-Where sand and shingle are picked up by waves and scrap along the coastline.
Hydraulic Action-The pounding affect of water on the coastline during storms. Also water and air is compressed into joints and cracks and weakens the rock.
Corrosion-When certain types of cliff erodes by the weak acids in the sea.
Attrition-When the waves causes rocks and pebbles to bump into each other and break

What type of weathering occurs to granite?
Granite is a very resilient type of rock and is not prone to much erosion. types of erosion that could occur to granite are acid rain, coastal erosion (weather and salt from the sea damaging it) and weather erosion. it would take an extremely long period of time for erosion to become apparent.
