1. Hydralic
Action- Waves force air in cracks in cliffs at high pressure causing crack to widen and cliff to fall 2. Abrasion- Rocks bash against cliffs wearing it away 3. Attrition- Rocks from beaches smash into each other 4. Solution- An acid in rainwater dissolves soft rocks
Hydraulic Action - Water forces itself into the cracks in a rock, helping it to break up.
Solution - The salty water dissolves the rock.
Attrition - A rock is worn into smaller and smaller pieces.
Abrasion - Sand and pebbles are thrown against a rock, it wears away at the rock like sandpaper would.
