Lulworth Cove,UK,aerial photograph. This is a coastal erosion feature on the south coast of England. It was formed when the sea broke through the hard coastal limestone rock,exposing the softer clays and sandstones a few dozen metres behind. These are eroded far more quickly than the limestone coastal rocks,causing the formation of the cove. At the back of the cove is a band of chalk,also more resistant to erosion than the clays and sandstones. Over the next few thousand years the cove will widen far more than it will increase in depth | |
