Detailed annotated explanation of how erosion coastal process such as hydraulic action and abrasion can cause the base of a cliff to erode forming a wave cut notch. This will continue to occur over many years until the cliff has retreaded inland leaving behind a wave cut platform.

The explanation is ideal for students to add to their notes and to help them revise for their examinations.
