Explain some factors that create an erosional coastline (4 main factors) - Answer- - Rock hardness- softer and uncemented sediment and rock more vulnerable to cliff retreat e.g. boulder clay along Holderness -Geological orientation- Discordant coasts have different rates of erosion resulting in headlands + bays, e.g. Eastern Dorset coast of Isle of Purbeck Wave type- Destructive waves are stronger and therefore when water is driven into cracks in rocks it can compress air and cause blasts (Hy...
