What is a wave cut cliff?
81492
On coasts with sloping shorelines, waves crash against the land, eroding some of the material it's made of. If you look carefully, you may see a notch cut into the shore by waves at the back of the beach. Removing the supporting rock or sediment weakens the material above it. Landslides tumble onto the beach, especially after a storm. See sources below

wave length\n(DOD) The horizontal distance between successive wave crests measured perpendicular to the crest, usually expressed in feet.

Deltas and Estuaries are created at the mouths of rivers.\nAnother landform that is created close to the mouth of a river is an ox bow lake.

The intertidal zone is an area of shoreline that is under water at high tide but exposed during low tide.

A protective structure of stone or concrete; extends from shore into the water to prevent a beach from washing away.

I only know of cross-bedding. Cross bedding - stratification inclined to the original horizontal surface upon which the sediment accumulated. It is produced by deposition on the slope of a dune or sand wave.

waves don't always come to shore, they go in most every direction, the reason you see them close to shore is the sloping land under the water makes it apper to get bigger and more pronouced, as it nears the shore. thus making it seem like they always come to the shore.

If the waves strike the beach at right angles, then one gets "nearshore currents", or riptides, which are streams of fast moving water straight out into the ocean.\n\nIf the waves strike the beach at some other angle, then one gets "longshore currents".

It's called Blazon Gap. It's a natural feature. The ridge is Oyster Ridge.

Older, more erosion and less break off on cliffs etc.

This is part of the storyline from the Game Darkwatch. (see link one below)\n\n"Cliffside is a very dark and very deep canyon that is shrouded in a looming fog that sets a mysterious tone for the battle taking place. The ambient sound effects echoing against the sides of the walls together with the constant howling of the wind suggest the eerie feeling that the souls of those lost are still lurking about the dark corners of the map."\n\nTell her that the phrase is just pretend and made-up to make the story and game more scary and that it is not the truth.  Tell her the sound is simply made as the air moves quickly through the trees and other things.\n\nFor a more scientific answer see link two below:

I'd check river banks, lake shores, and road cuts in the coastal plain.  There was one place near Choke Canyon where the ground was literally covered with petrified wood...

its the product of erosion....soil that has been eroded from rocks become sand in the sea...then when waves move they carry the sand to the shore...

The highest sea cliffs in the world are those on the north coast of east Molokai, near Umilehi Point, Hawaii, USA, which descend 1,010 m. (3,300 ft.) to the sea at an average gradient of more than 1 in 1.428.\n\nthis is from the guiness book of records and hence should be correct and accurate.. here is the link;-\n\nhttp://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=47602

My sister was out playing, while we were camping, and she got too close to the edge of a cliff. She fell, and luckly there was a ledge that was only like 10 or 15 feet down. The ledge was actually quite skinny and nobody could figure out how she landed on it without getting hurt.

A peninsula (from Latin "paene insula", almost island) is a geographical formation consisting of an extension of land from a larger body, surrounded by water on three sides.\n\nA peninsula can also be a headland, cape, promontory, bill, point, or spit.
