Erosion, deposition, and weathering play significant roles in shaping the Big Sur cliffs along the central coast of California. Erosion, caused by wind, water, and waves, wears down the cliffs over time. Deposition occurs when eroded materials are transported and eventually settle or accumulate. Weathering, which includes physical and chemical processes, breaks down the rocks and contributes to the erosion and shaping of the cliffs.
