Question 16

Study Figure 1, which shows a diagram of a retreating cliff and wave-cut platform. A line diagram showing a coastal cliff with waves attacking its base at high tide, creating a wave-cut notch. Above the notch, the overhanging cliff has a dotted line indicating a previous profile and arrows pointing down to show cliff collapse. At the base, a flat, rocky wave-cut platform is exposed, covered in debris from the collapsed cliff.

Suggest two marine processes that contribute to the formation of the coastal landforms shown in Figure 1.
