COASTAL FEATURES
Notches, Cliffs and Wave-cut Platform

2. NOTCHES & CLIFFS
A notch is cut in the rock at the level where wave attack is concentrated. When the notch is cut too far, the area above this notch collapses forming a cliff.
A cliff is defined as a steep rock face. Where marine erosion is powerful, the coastline is eroded to form a cliff. Erosion is concentrated at sea level. 

3. CLIFFS & WAVE-CUT PLATFORMS
The process of erosion continues and the cliff retreats further and further back. As the cliff retreats, a flat area which is exposed at low tide is left at its base.  This feature is known as a wave-cut platform.

4. GROUP ACTIVITY
Sort these statements into two sequences (one for abrasion, one for hydraulic action) to show how cliff erosion takes place.
How does the waves erode cliffs?
Draw a series of 2-3 diagrams, using every statement to label them, to show how cliff erosion takes place.
