This is the cliff. The white layers of cream represent the high and low tides. The erosion happens in the pink slice, between these tide zones
The sea starts to erode this area
This erosion continues
The erosion carries on and the rocks broken off the cliff start to hit against the cliff, eroding it more
The erosion of the pink slice makes the white area above overhang
The top part of he cliff begins to overhang and fall
Because it has no support, it cracks and breaks into the sea
It is all very dramatic
The bit that fell off now breaks apart and is thrown against the cliff and starts to erode the cliff more
The erosion process begins again
Once more, the top part overhangs, unsupported
...
It falls!!
...and breaks
And crumbles more
And soon all of the cliff is eroded. (This is over thousands of years)
All that is left.....a wave cut platform!! (Not for long....;) )
