A cliffed coast, also known as a cliff coast or cliff shoreline, refers to a type of coastal landscape where steep geological formations, such as cliffs or escarpments, rise sharply from the water. These cliffs are typically formed through processes such as erosion, weathering, and tectonic activity, which result in the removal of softer material, leaving behind harder rock formations that create the dramatic sheer drop to the sea.
