cliffed coast

Furthermore, on a rocky cliffed coast wave action is not the only driving force for coastline retreat.

In its western part, which end in a cliffed coast, the land climbs to a height of over 33 metres.

This forms an abrasion or cliffed coast.

To the north and east the Granitz is bounded by a cliffed coast on the Baltic Sea.

A cliffed coast or abrasion coast is one where marine action has produced steep declivities known as cliffs.

Nowhere on the German and Dutch North Sea shores is there such a striking cliffed coast.

If waves carve notches at a narrow point on both sides of a promontory on the rocky cliffed coast, a natural arch may be formed.

Because of its location in a coastal gully on the cliffed coast, called Liete, Vitt is not visible from afar.

Most steep coast are rocky cliffed coasts (also called abrasion coasts), where the erosion processes of wave action result in a steep declivity.

An example of a cliffed coast is in north Wales where over years of the sea beating at the cliffs the houses on top have begun collapsing into the sea.

A cliffed coast, also called an abrasion coast, is a form of coast where the action of marine waves has formed steep cliffs that may or may not be precipitous.

On a cliffed coast made up of material which is only fairly or even hardly resistant to erosion no wave-cut platform but a beach is formed in front of the sea cliff.

Along much of the cliffed coast between Brighton and Newhaven (and beyond to Eastbourne), frost involution structures can be seen in the upper meter of the chalk cliff.

With much of its cliffed coast still active it represents an important landscape in the West Pomeranian Lagoon Area National Park and is part of protection zone II.

A cliffed coast is made of a loose bedrock material, such as at the Red Cliff on the German island of Sylt, but can also occur in hard rock like the red sandstone cliffs on Heligoland.

On the Baltic Sea rim is a cliffed coast with the Bay of Lübeck and Bay of Wismar with the island of Poel and the seaside resort of Boltenhagen.

To the west and east its boundaries are more obvious: on the one side is its active cliffed coast on the Baltic, and on the other the coastline alongside the Saaler Bodden, only a few centimetres above sea level.

It was located on the northeastern tip of the German Baltic Sea island of Rügen at Cape Arkona, and was protected on two sides by the cliffed coast and from the land side by a Slavic burgwall.

The northern part has a 'hard' cliffed coast of spectacular high cliffs, offshore islands and rocky headlands, whilst the southern strip is a 'soft' alluvial coast of wide, sweeping sandy bays backed by sand dunes and intertidal flats backed by saltmarsh.
