What is a steep coastal rock face formed by wave erosion called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Sea cliff
The correct answer is Sea cliff. Waves repeatedly strike the base of a resistant or exposed coast, forming a wave-cut notch. Continued undercutting makes the overhanging material unstable; it collapses, and the shoreline retreats, leaving a steep cliff face. A drumlin is a streamlined glacial hill, a sand dune is deposited by wind, and a floodplain is built by river sediment, so these distractors involve different agents and processes.
