Another characteristic is that they have a weak backwash
2. A The soft rock, like sand and clay, erodes more quickly than
those of more resistant rock, such as chalk. This leaves a section
of land going into the sea called a headland. The areas where the
soft rock has eroded away, next to the headland, are called bays.
3. A reason is the coast could have destructive wave, which have a
stronger backwash, so the coast id taken away faster than that
which has constructive waves. Coastal erosion can be faster on
some coasts because the coast can be made out of soft rock
which erodes quicker than hard rock. A different reason is
because of weathering on-top of the rock which impacts the
strength of the rock. A final reason may be due to the water
eroding the rocks.
