        :A sea cliff is a high rock face that slopes very steeply up from the shore
        
        1: Waves erodes notch in the coast
        
        2: The notch gradually becomes deeper
        
        3:The are above the notch becomes so undercut that it collapses, forming a cliff
        
        4:The former base of the cliff remain as a wave -cut platform
        
        5:Material eroded from the cliff builds up to form a wavebuilt terrace
        
        Examples: The Cliffs of Moher, Co Clare

      - How waves erode
        
        1.Hydraulic action: is the power of water as it crashes against the coast
        
        2. Compressed Air : becomes trapped in rock cracks by incoming waves. The pressure of the air can shatter the rock
        
        3. Abrasion: is erosion of the coastline by the stones that are hurled against it by the waves
        
        Attrition: The stones carried by waves are themselves smoothed and worn down.
