- about a million years ago the Yorkshire coastline was a line of white chalk cliffs almost 35km west of where it is now
- during the Pleistocene ice age (18,000 years ago) deposits of glacial till (soft boulder clay) were built up against these
cliffs to form a new coastline
- the boulder clay consists of about 72% mud, 27% sand and 1% boulders and large peddles

- the coastline sweeps in a smooth ‘s shape’ from the south of BRIDLINGTON in the north to SPURN POINT in the
south at the mouth of the HUMBAR ESTUARY
- this smooth shale is only broken when sea defences have reduced erosion at the protected point and increased
southwards
- the seabed erodes by the action of waves, causing a deep infection of the area fronting the cliff
- the coast is subject to the full force of the waves from the NORTH SEA
- generally the natural beaches are almost always narrow and unable to stop wave action
- during the winter they are only a thin layer of sand covering the underlying clay, and in summer they’re built up
enough for recreational purposes
- there are dynamic sandbanks that are thought to move along the coast and make the most rapid areas od erosion at
the base of the cliff; this could be the main method of longshore drift on the Holderness
