Abrasion - The scraping and wearing away of rock surfaces by materials carried by waves., Attrition - When rocks and pebbles carried by the sea knock together and break into smaller, smoother pieces., Chemical Weathering - The breakdown of rocks by chemical reactions, such as acidic rain dissolving limestone., Deposition - When the sea loses energy and drops the material it has been carrying., Erosion - The wearing away of the land by natural forces like wind, rain, and waves., Hydraulic Power - The force of waves compressing air into cracks in rocks, causing them to break apart., Longshore Drift - The movement of sediment along the coast in the direction of the prevailing wind and waves., Mass Movement - Downhill movement of material due to gravity, such as landslides or slumping., Mechanical Weathering - The breakdown of rock into smaller pieces without changing its chemical composition, often caused by freeze-thaw action., Sliding - When a large mass of material moves down a slope along a straight slip plane., Slumping - When saturated soil and weak rock move down a curved surface, creating a rotational slip., Transportation - The movement of eroded material by the sea, wind, or rivers., Waves - Movements of energy through the sea that shape the coastline through erosion, transportation, and deposition.,
