The 4 types of erosional processes are Hydraulic action, Abrasion, Attrition, Corrosion. Hydraulic action is the explosion of compressed air trapped in cracks and crevasses of cliffs by advancing waves. Abrasion occurs when rock particles are hurled by the waves against cliff surfaces. Attrition is the breakdown of rock particles as they his cliff faces and each other. Corrosion is the chemical decomposition of rocks by sea water and is most effective on limestone rocks. All erosional patterns work together at the same time to form a crack (fist signs of erosion or weakness) then cave, arch, stack and finally stump all of which are the steps to a gradually reduced headland for example Port Campbell. The erosional process in some cases can erode rocks very fast in coastal regions.
