Cliffs form when you have one section of hard resistant rock running alongside the sea. Erosion takes place at the bottom of the cliff, forming a wave cut notch. The photo to the right is a classic example of a wave cut notch. You can clearly see where the erosion has taken place at the bottom of the cliff. Eventually the rock above the wave cut notch will collapse, leaving the whole process to start again!
