    Coastal areas can be protected from the effects of natural processes‚ for example the effects of erosion‚ deposition‚ transportation‚ weathering and mass movement. The most problematic of these is erosion. There are three types of erosion: hydraulic action‚ abrasion and attrition which all contribute together to erode cliffs‚ causing the coastline to be vulnerable and weaker. The cause of erosion can then lead to mass movement for example rock fall and slumping which can affect the coastline greatly
