Explanation: A cliff is formed when waves repeatedly pound against a rocky coast Elaboration: This weakens the rock‚ causing the lines of weakness to form in the rock face * Over time‚ the waves erode the coast to cut a notch along the lines of weakness. * The notch may be further

For this reason‚ they are uncommon in the low intertidal zone where there is limited air exposure‚ and are predominantly found in rock pools and rocky shores in the middle and high intertidal zones instead (Moore‚ 1937).

known marine species. Different structural types of coral reefs are distinguished but only some exist within the Caribbean: i. Fringing reefs are the most common type of coral reefs. They develop adjacent to the shore usually along rocky coasts of uplifted islands or along the shores of exposed limestone islands. Burke and Maidens (2004) estimated that 1010-1260 square kilometres of fringing reefs surround Jamaica’s 825 kilometres of coastline. ii. Barrier reefs develop sometimes rather far

In North Queensland‚ Red mangroves are able to grow up to ten metres high‚ however it is most common to see five metre high trees; most likely because of the lower and sparser human population
