Cliffs are landforms that are formed by erosion, typically along a coastline and can be made up of different types of rock and soil, and can vary in height from a few feet to hundreds or even thousands of feet. Cliffs provide habitats for many species of plants and animals, as well as offering spectacular views for people who visit them. They also act as natural barriers against coastal erosion and flooding, and are be dangerous to climb due to the risk of falling rocks or landslides, but they remain popular destinations for hikers and climbers alike. The beauty make them an iconic feature in many landscapes around the world.
