Active Erosion

Water action erodes the cliffs of the Australian coast. The rock formation, which consists of limestone, is shaped by a combination of erosion by sea and weathering. The coast of the Otway Basin in Australia is particularly affected by strong erosion up to two centimeters per year. This photo shows a fresh landslide of the cliff.
