Coastline in Pembrokeshire, Wales

A coast is found where the land meets the sea. Coasts undergo change due to coastal processes and (as with rivers) there are three main processes at work:

  • erosion
  • transportation, and
  • deposition

Each of these processes involves the power of the sea and the effect of waves that are carried to shore. However, other factors also change and shape our coasts:

Graphic table shows the key factors that change and shape our coast: human activity, including coastal management; weather and climate; geology, i.e. the type of rocks that make up the coast.
