The diagram above demonstrates the impact of cliff erosion to the revelation of fossils. Holistically, fossil exposure is often linked to coastal erosion, a phenomenon in which destructive tides erode the base of a cliff and gradually retreat its position backwards. Firstly, the phenomenon begins with the constant crashes of high and low waves into […]
The diagram demonstrates the changes of a cliff as a result of coastal erosion, which leads to the fossil exposure. Overall, this natural process consists of two main stages. Initially, the base of the cliff is worn away by waves. Subsequently, this retreat leads to the exposure of fossils at the cliff’s base. First of […]
The provided diagram depicts how fossils-which are located beneath the cliff-were exposed as a result of coastal erosion. Overall, the process for exposure of fossils consisted of three linear stages, which began with the wave attack from high tides and ended with the exposure of fossils in danger zone of cliff. In detail, the high […]
Slowly, over a period of time, the face of the cliff is worn away by continuous wave action. Up to the time that the cliff becomes unstable, the erosion continues to weaken the structure at its base. From the moment when cracks start to appear, large sections of the cliff collapse into the sea. While […]
The diagram depicts the natural process in which coastal erosion led to exposure of fossils beneath a cliff. The cliff face once stood further out and the waves cannot reach it at low tide. But waves at high tide, in contrast, can reach halfway up the cliff and hit it continuously. The force coming from […]
The diagram illustrates the process of cliff erosion leading to the exposure of fossils beneath the cliff face. This natural phenomenon occurs over time due to the continuous impact of ocean waves. Initially, the cliff face is intact, with layers of sediment and rock containing fossils embedded within them. As time passes, the relentless wave […]
