Mechanical weathering.
Wetting & Drying (Freezing and Thawing)- Stone expands when it absorbs water and shrinks as it dries.

∙ 10y ago
The type of weathering that occurs along ocean cliffs is mainly mechanical weathering, caused by processes such as waves crashing against the rocks, causing them to break apart and erode over time. Chemical weathering can also occur due to the saltwater and other chemical reactions taking place along the cliff face.

How does freeze-thaw weathering cause rocks on coastal cliffs to break up?
Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and then thaws. This repeated cycle of freezing and thawing weakens the rocks by exerting pressure on the cracks, causing them to widen and break apart. In coastal cliffs, the presence of water from the ocean can accelerate the freeze-thaw process, leading to the gradual breakdown of the rocks over time.

Cliffs that are eroded by upward drafts of wind and ocean waves
What type of weathering do you see in florida?
I looking at this for hw right now and I'm currently on physical weathering. I have found things such as weathering of sand and rocks along the coast lines due to salt crystallization. Rocks in the ocean are smoothed out and crushed by the constant motion of the ocean. And cliff sides are deteriorated and smoothed out in pieces by waves slamming against them.

What occurs along ocean trenches but not along mid ocean ridges that accounts for the occurrence's of deep focus earthquakes?
Subduction of oceanic crust. The Earthquakes occur at depth in the descending slab.
