factors affecting coastal landform change

• Hard rock types are less likely to erode.
• Powerful winds and a long fetch create the most damaging waves.
• The angle of the slope

  steep slopes erode more violently and frequently.
• Weather conditions

  freezing temperatures and heavy rain increase weathering and the rate of erosion.
• The amount of vegetation 


  the presence of vegetation helps stabilise slopes but also increases the occurrence of biological weathering.
• The amount of human interference
