The rocks at the bottom of a cliff that help protect it from wave erosion are called wave breakers or riprap. They absorb and dissipate the energy from the waves, reducing their impact on the cliff face and helping to prevent erosion.

--My geography teacher said that the cliffs had receded from where the pill boxes are because of erosion from the waves as there is no protection there, only the rip rap at the side, and one day the tower will have the ground it sits on eroded. ---- ---- thanks it was!!! =)
The lifespan of sea walls can vary depending on factors such as the materials used, maintenance practices, and environmental conditions. Generally, properly maintained concrete sea walls can last 30-50 years or more before needing significant repairs or replacement. However, natural disasters and extreme weather events can significantly impact the longevity of sea walls.

rip rap is large rocks, in various sizes, used to control eroision,
the advantages of rip rap are that it absorbs the waves energy and stops longshore drift ( like groynes) the disadvantages are that it costs alot for the granite boulders ( rip rap) to be transported! hope that helps :D

rip rap could have been used as a nautical term by sailors during the 1600's. It meant "stretch of rippling water" caused under water formations.
Yes, rip rap and rock armor refer to the same thing - the use of large rocks or boulders to protect against erosion and wave action along coastlines or riverbanks. Rip rap is the term often used in North America, while rock armor is more common in Europe.
