Question 34

The Holderness Coast in East Riding of Yorkshire is one of Europe's fastest-eroding coastlines.

The table below shows the annual rates of cliff retreat (measured in metres per year, m/yr\text{m/yr}m/yr) at six active monitoring stations along this stretch of coast between 2018 and 2023.
