Answer to Question 1

 Erosional coasts are those that are involved in the removal of coastal material. Land and marine erosion is essential in this type of coast.
 The erosion of rocks can be dependent upon their hardness. Hard rocks will resist erosion when faced with wave shock. Softer rocks may not even last the night when subjected to wave energy forces.
 Erosion rates are also linked to the amount of marine erosion. High-energy coasts are battered by large waves on a consistent basis. This can increase erosion rates. Low-energy areas receive few large waves.
 These can sometimes be called wave-cut shores. They are characterized by abrupt sea cliffs and sea caves. They also have wave-cut platforms that correspond to the submerged limit of marine erosion.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
