The frequency and speed of the wind

The energy of the waves hitting the shore

The hardness of the rock that makes up the shoreline

All of these will determine the shape and how fast a cliff is formed, such as the speed of the wind and water, as well as how hard a rock is, will shape how the rock looks like.

For example, if the wind and waves are traveling extremely quickly, and the rock is made of sand, the rock will break much quickly.

Hope this helps

Answer:

Fossils are important features that are present in the sedimentary rocks. This provides evidence of how life has evolved over a large geological time scale.

Initially, the first life forms were unicellular, microorganisms, whose remnants are found to be present in the chert rocks of Australia, that are about 3.46 billion years old belonging to the Archean era.

Next to this, there occurred a new species, known as the trilobites which were first appeared in the Cambrian (540 million years back) and got extinct by the end of Permian (250 million years). These are found to be present in the Paleozoic rocks of Utah, the United States, and Oklahoma.

The next well-developed species existed were the dinosaurs, which first appeared in the Triassic, dominant in the Jurassic and got extinct by the end of Cretaceous. This involved the time from about 250 million years back to 65 million years back.

Thus, this is how life has evolved from simpler to complex organisms, including the present-day humans. This study of changes that occurs in the fossils found in the rocks from the bottom (older) to the top (younger) is considered as faunal succession, and the geologist evaluates the age of the rocks that comprises the distinct fossils.

An image has been attached below, showing the occurrence of different life forms namely microorganisms, trilobites, and dinosaurs in the geological history at different places on earth.

Anna71 [15]

Australia is an island country, and besides the big main island and Tasmania, it has 12,000 islands plus in its territory. Since it doesn't have any land borders, its borderline is actually the sum of all coastlines of all islands in its territory, and that accounts for 70,000 km.

New South Wales is the biggest state in the country, and it occupies 10% of its total land mass. Its border is 4,635 km, which means that it accounts for 6.62% of the total borderline of Australia.
