Best Answer

Cliffs are formed when erosion is greatest when large waves actually break against the foot a cliff. The foot of the cliff is undercut to form a wave cut notch. As the notch gets larger, the cliff above it will become increasingly unsupported and in time will collapse. As this process is repeated the cliff will slowly retreat and, usually, increase in height. The gently sloping land left at the foot of the retreating cliff is called a wave cut platform.
