Sea erosion occurs when waves, currents, and tides wear away coastal land and rock formations. The constant movement of water removes sediment and destabilizes coastal structures, often leading to the retreat of shorelines. Factors such as storm surges and high tides can accelerate this process, while human activities like construction and deforestation can exacerbate erosion rates. Over time, this natural phenomenon reshapes Coastlines and can significantly impact ecosystems and human settlements.

Why erosion and deposition are part of a cycle?
Presumably you mean rocks. Well, mountains erode into rivers, which take the eroded matter downstream and deposit them into the sea. This then forms a sea bed of sand, which compresses underneath more sand to form solid rock again. This rock is then usually pushed (by tectonic movement) into new land elsewhere. Thus the cycle starts again.
What are Advantages of Rock armor?
Rock armour works by stopping the sea erode the cliff behind it. It lets the sea erode the rock, protecting it from coastal erosion. As the rock is hard, it will last for many years - granite is perfect for this job.
How long does it take for a sea arch to erode?
The time it takes for a sea arch to erode can vary depending on factors like the type of rock, the strength of ocean waves, and the climate. In general, it can take thousands to millions of years for a sea arch to form and erode.
What do wind and water do to land?
They erode the land after thousands of years.
How are sea stacks formed and sea archs?
By erosion. Sea caves erode to become sea arches which erode to form sea stacks.
Why does sloping land erode more than flat land?
gravity
What must result in a lower base level for rivers and streams?
The results of a lower base lever for rivers and streams is the sea level falls and the land rises. The base level is the level below which a stream cannot erode.
How can land be formed by waves?
Usually waves erode land. Waves may form land if they push material from another location into a particular area. For example, the natural sea wall on Mt. Desert Island in Maine, was formed by such a process.
Why doesn't a river erode to the center of the earth?
It only needs to erode to the highest point of a body of water, such as sea level.
How does runoff erode land?
water runoff causes erosion by beating the surface of the land
What are ways waves erode land?
Abrasion and hydraulic action
