    • Landscapes and processes
      • Erosion
      • Weathering
      • Mass movement
      • Transportation
      • Deposition
    • Erosion
      • The wearing away of the coast by processes like hydraulic action
    • Weathering
      • Breaks down the Earth's surface into smaller particles
    • Mass movement
      • The downslope movement of material due to gravity (types - slumping, landslides, rockfalls)
    • Transportation
      • Moves eroded material along the coast
    • Deposition
      • The laying down of eroded material, shaping the coast
    • The physical processes of erosion, weathering, mass movement, transportation and deposition shape the coast
    • Geological structure, rock types, and wave action
      • Impact landforms by determining their resistance to erosion
      • Softer rocks erode more quickly, shaping features like cliffs and beaches
      • Harder rocks form headlands
      • Wave action, influenced by factors like wave energy and direction, further sculpts the coast
