Chalk Cliffs

Chalk Cliffs are striking, white cliff formations composed primarily of chalk, a soft, porous limestone made from microscopic marine fossils. Formed over millions of years through sediment accumulation on the ocean floor, they are shaped by erosion processes like wind and water, creating steep, towering faces. These cliffs are often found along coastlines and are notable for their durability and bright appearance. They also support unique ecosystems and are of interest for scientific study due to their geological history. Notable examples include the White Cliffs of Dover in England and the White Cliffs of Rügen in Germany.
