Spatial ability of geographic terms
Klif je strma obalna stena nastala zaradi erozijskega delovanja valov. Valovi spodjedajo steno, ki se odmika od morja. Na erodirani podlagi nastaja abrazijska polica. Hitrost odmikanja klifa je odvisna od moči valov in kamnine v steni.

A cliff is a steep coastal wall formed by the erosive action of waves. The waves are eating away at the wall that moves away from the sea. An abrasion shelf is formed on the eroded base. The speed at which the cliff moves away depends on the strength of the waves and the rock in the wall.
