tidal erosion

Tidal erosion is the natural process where ocean tides, waves, and currents gradually wear away coastlines, cliffs, and rock formations. As tides rise and fall, they cause water to hit the shoreline, gradually breaking down rock and sediment over time. This process can lead to the shortening of coastlines, creation of bays, and formation of features like sea arches. Tidal erosion is influenced by factors such as the strength of waves, the type of rock, and sea level changes. While it shapes our coastlines, it can also pose challenges to nearby structures and habitats.
