Best Answer

The chalk cliffs at Dover and on the opposite side of the English Channel have been continually eroding since the last glaciation, at which time the English Channel was a river valley and the southern North Sea was land.

When the ice melted, the southern North Sea flooded and burst through the gap causing a catastrophic flood, which started the main erosion of the chalk cliffs and it has widened ever since.
