Flamborough Head , Wicket Keeper at Bridlington Cricket Club I like these pictures, we also have eroding cliffs where I live in Flamborough, UK. That damn North Sea hammers and erodes our coastline and houses are dropping into the sea. http://www.flamborough.me.uk 1 year ago Reply

Cliff Collapse
The collapse of cliffs can be described in three steps.
- Soft clay cliffs are impermeable and hold rain water.
- The sea is attacking/eroding the base of the cliff, causing a wave-cut notch to form.
- At the same time heavy rainfall causes the soft clay to become saturated, causing a slip plane to form.
- The weight of the clay causes the cliff to slump or collapse.
- This results in……
- CLIFF COLLAPSE
Case Study – The Holderness Coast, Holbeck Hall Hotel.
- At Flamborough Head there is a large amount of chalk in the cliffs. The chalk is much harder than the boulder clay at Filey Bay to the North and Holderness to the South.
Background Information
- The scenery has high cliffs, some of the highest in England which reaches upto 200m high.
