and naturally experienced weathering and erosion which allowed limestone to form from the sediments of sand and silt. Currents caused the sediments to deposit deeper into the water forming sandstone. Weather phenomenon’s such as earthquakes and storms trigged submarine and surface landslides. This deposited limestone from the continental shelf to the continental slope‚ through subduction these rocks cemented together to form Limestone breccia‚ the current stone that supports the surrounding cliffs

One of the types of rocks that can be found on the Earth are sedimentary rocks. There are two other kinds which are igneous and metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rocks cover about 75 to 85 % of the land on Earth. When pieces of rock or parts of once- living organisms or minerals from precipitation deposit and solidify on Earth’s surface they for sedimentary rocks.
