In this episode, we discuss the process of erosion on coastal landscapes.

Coastal erosion, the wearing down of rock by natural forces, is explored in this text. It highlights that wave energy accelerates this process.

Several key types of coastal erosion are detailed, including hydraulic power, where wave force breaks apart cliffs, and abrasion, where carried materials scrape surfaces.

We also describes attrition, the collision and breakdown of transported materials, and solution, the dissolving of soluble rocks by seawater.
