- - - - Low waves with a powerful swash
      - Material is being deposited onto the beach
    - - Tall waves that are closely spaced together with a strong backwash
      - Material is being dragged from the beach
  - - - Chemical reactions that make the rock more soluble, such as the affect of acid
    - - Plants growing and animals burrowing through the rock weakening it.
    - - Freeze thaw is water freezing and melting repeatedly weakening the rock
      - Onion skin weathering is the temperature changes weakening the rock
  - - - Rock brought by the sea banging against the cliff and getting smaller
    - - Fragments of rock scraping the rock to create gouges
    - - Effect of friction between particles on the rock
    - - Dissolving of soluble chemicals in the rock
    - - The effect of the water smashing against the rock.
  - - - When saturated soils and weak rock flows down the slope
    - - Rock falls off the cliff due to gravity, caused by physical processes
    - - Layers of rock flow over one another when lubricated by water
    - - Soil or weak rock slumps down a hillside along a curved surface
- - - - Source
      - Narrow and Shallow
      - Steepest part of the river
      - Largest rocks
    - - Smaller rocks
      - Wider and Deeper than the Upper Course
      - Shallower gradient than upper course
      - Velocity is increasing
    - - Deep and wide
      - Small sediment, more of it
      - Highest velocity
      - Windy course (meanders)
