What are the processes of coastal erosion? There are four main processes of coastal erosionThese are corrasion, abrasion, hydraulic action and attrition Corrasion is when destructive waves pick up beach material eg pebbles and hurl them at the base of a cliff Over time this can loosen cliff material forming a wave-cut notch Abrasion occurs as breaking waves, concentrated between the ....
