Description
Seven Sisters White Cliffs - The Seven Sisters overlooking the English Channel in the area of Dover, Kent county, United Kingdom. 8X10 Oil on canvas
The beautiful cliffs that were formed some 90 million years ago are white because of their chalk composition, which is particularly vulnerable to erosion.
For millennia, wide beaches helped slow down erosion, but over the past 150 years, the beach that protected the White Cliffs of Dover has disappeared.
According to the study, before the mid 1800s, the cliffs eroded at a rate of up to two inches per year, dating back roughly 7,000 years. About 150 years ago, however, the rate increased to 8 to 12 inches per year.
