Best Answer

The cliffs on the Holderness Coast are mostly made up of chalk and therefore erosion happens quickly. Due to the fact that groynes were put in place to protect the small village of Mappleton that is on a clifftop, this has meant that less beach material can move downstream and therefore further erosion takes place further downstream.
