The Holderness Coastline

The notorious Holderness Coastline of Holderness Coastline is located on the east coast of Yorkshire and extends from Flamborough Head to Spurn Point. Over the past 2000, the coastline shrank nearly 400 meters and more than 28 villages between Bridlington and Spring Point disappeared into the ocean from the Roman era. About one million years ago, the Yorkshire coastline was about 32 kilometers west of the white cliffs from now. In the Ice Age, sediments of soft rock clay formed these cliffs and formed a new coastline.

Located on the east coast of the UK, the Holderness coastline is located north of the mouth of Humber River, one of Europe's most eroding coastlines due to soft clay cliffs and powerful waves. Groynes and other artificial controls speed up the process along the coastline as coastal drift slows the coast and exposes them more. The white cliffs of Dover are also affected. Ricasoli Fort is a historic 17th century fortress in Malta and is threatened by coastal erosion. A small part of one fortress wall collapsed because the land beneath it was eroded and there were cracks in other walls.

On the Humberside Holderness coastline, there is an erosion rate of about 2 meters per year. Along the coast a strong coastal drift has occurred, and for centuries saliva called Spurn Head spit was produced at the southern end of Holderness. The collar is 4 kilometers long and 100 meters wide. The majority of this coastline is glacier, soft and fragile material and easily eroded. However, this is not considered to be the sole reason for the rapid erosion rate. Because maritime defense is already in place, human intervention is considered another reason. To create a wider beach, rocky swells were built on Martleton. This in turn will help protect the coastline by absorbing wave energy. Then, concrete walls were built on Withernsea with jumping and Boulder cracks. These defense measures can cause major problems. This will protect the initial area when the beach is created
