How does weathering increase rates of recession?

  • white cliffs , Dover

  • Weakens rocks gravity causes them to fall

  • Crave, crack ,arch, stack

2
New cards

How does mass movement increase rates of recession?

  • Moves sediment to the base of cliffs

  • Sediment is eroded away

  • Cliffs recede

  • Wave action and LSD carry the sediment away

  • Amplified by exposing cliff bases

How does surface run off increase rates of recession?

  • holderness coast

  • Running water rodeo away unconsolidated material

  • Weakens harder rock

  • Makes rocks more vulnerable to other types of erosion

New cards

Which sub aerial process is the most influential and why?

Mass movement as the most sediment is moved at time meaning more sediment is eroded away
