Coast Cliff Cross Section — free printable diagram

About this illustration

This image is a colourful, labelled illustration depicting a sea cliff undergoing coastal erosion. It clearly shows the ocean waves impacting the base of the cliff, forming a distinctive 'WAVE-CUT NOTCH' as indicated by the label. Below the notch, extending from the base of the cliff into the sea, is a flat, rocky area labelled 'WAVE-CUT PLATFORM'. The top of the cliff features green vegetation, and the overall illustration is titled 'SEA CLIFF'. This diagram visually explains how these specific landforms are created by wave action, making complex geological processes accessible. It's ideal for slides, worksheets, or educational posters in a geography or earth science lesson to teach students about coastal features and erosion.
