Only by unimaginably expensive sea defenses can cliffs be permanently stabilised.
A cliff has a vertical or near vertical drop. A bluff has a cant or an angle to the drop.

A cliff retreat is a form of natural erosion. Rocks in the face of the cliff are broken down by wind and water (rain, waves, etc). The material in the cliff is loosened, and parts of the cliff face collapse. Eventually, an entire section of the cliff will fall into the sea, meaning that the cliff edge has retreated. The pace of cliff retreat is determined by the strength of the rocks in the cliff face, more than the cliff's height. It also most often occurs where the base of the cliff is continually being saturated by water, weakening the rock further.

Cliff recession refers to the gradual retreat or erosion of a cliff due to natural processes such as weathering, erosion, and coastal erosion. It can be caused by factors such as wave action, rainfall, freeze-thaw cycles, and human activities. Over time, the cliff face may become less stable, leading to its gradual collapse or retreat landward.
they used undercutting which made the cliff more stable and gave it more support thus stopping further slumping. they used undercutting which made the cliff more stable and gave it more support thus stopping further slumping.
As cliffs retreat inland, their height increases. Also, the more vertical a cliff-face is (90'), the more likely erosion is occurring (hydraulic action, compression and abrasion)

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.ITS SNOWING YH THTSBRITEEEEEEEEEExX-I2uN-ReiSS-Xx add my psn
We are not solely responsible for this. This is one of many examples for sentence use.
it's the energy in the water that causes bits of rock from the cliff etc to fall off and to fall into the water itself. when it's a waterfall, over a period of time, the waterfall will retreat upstream.
