The horizontal or vertical rock structures produce the steepest cliffs, and where the rock dips up and away from the sea.

The factors that can affect coastal cliff erosion, including sea level rise, wave energy, coastal slope, beach width, beach height, and rock strength.

PLZ HELP Sediments are almost always deposited in flat layers. Does it appear that forces in the Earth affected the rock layers
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

In this region we see that faulting has occurred. Because the rock strata are not lined up with one another across the entire region, it is clear that the land has faulted and the the two edge blocks have slipped downwards leaving the middle block uplifted or that the middle block has been pushed upwards.

These two types of faulting are called normal faulting and reverse faulting. They are the result of tension and compression stresses, respectively, that pull and compress the rocks creating fractures called faults. If the stress is sufficient, the outer blocks slide downward or the middle block is uplifted.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • Climate oscillation or climate cycles are a recurring oscillation within the global or regional climates and their fluctuations produce varying climatic cells and pressures often occurring on an interannual and multi annular basis.  
  • On a decadal and millennium timescales.Current examples of the ENSO, Pacific oscillation, Antarctica, and arctic oscillation. like ENSO is characterized by flooding and drought conditions and the distribution of extreme conditions in the form of heat and cold waves.
  • Other cycles like the Piora oscillation, Little ice age, medieval warm period, retreating of glaciers and warming of the planet. All these cycles move on earth from the equator to tropics to temperate to polar areas and the continuous warming and cooling periods have altered the rate of spreading of the seafloor and oceanic basin.
  • Present warming has drastically created a major change in the evolution of species causing extinction and quick decomposition of resources. The release of carbon and methane gases over these years have raised the greenhouse effect at alarming rates.
