coves
Coved and blow holes
A cove Is made by destructing waves which are powerful waves made by prevailing winds blowing in from the south- west Atlantic ocean. This means that the waves can build up a large fetch of 5000km.
When these powerful waves bash against the sides of the cliffs erosion takes place such as Hydraulic power (which is 10 tun of force per m2 of compressed air into the cracks in the cliff. Corrosion or other wise know as abrasion ( which is when sand gets picked up by the waves and then get throw it the cliffs by the waves leading the cliff to become softer). These together both erode away the softer rock (the less resistant rock) leaving behind the harder rock (the more resistant rock) this is limestone.
The limestone is made out of the hard rock and behind the hard rock is clay which is softer meaning that it would get eroded away quicker making I C shaped cove, at the back is chalk which is the harder rock.
An example of a cove is Lulworth cove in
